Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Natalia

Natalia is a Russian name, also from the Latin “Natalia” derived from the late Latin word “natalis” which translates to ‘birthday’ (and in particular, Christ’s birthday, or Christmas day). The Russian Natasha is actually considered a pet form of Natalia. Not as popular as Natalie in the English-speaking world, Natalia is a four-syllable, Russian inspired option to its more traditional English sister. Like Noel, it’s been a favorite among Christmas babies.
