Natalie

Natalie derives from the Latin name Natalia, itself rooted in the Latin phrase dies natalis, meaning "birth day" or "day of birth," specifically associated with the feast of the Nativity of Christ. The name was borne by an early Christian martyr venerated in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, which helped spread its use across Europe. It became particularly popular in France and the English-speaking world during the twentieth century. Related forms include Natalia, Nathalie, Natalya, and Natasha.
