Nathalie

Nathalie is a French, Dutch, German, and Scandinavian form of Natalia, ultimately derived from the Latin phrase natale domini, meaning birthday of the Lord, a reference to Christmas. The name was borne by a 4th-century saint, Natalia of Nicomedia, which helped spread its use across Christian Europe. It became especially popular in France and French-speaking regions during the 20th century. Related forms include Natalia, Natalie, Natalya, and Natalja.
