Meaning and history

This name comes from the Roman name Natalis or Natalia, derived from Latin natalis meaning "relating to birth, birthday". This referred especially to the traditional birthday of Jesus, giving this name a further meaning of "Christmas Day". This was the name of the wife of the 4th-century martyr Saint Adrian of Nicomedia. She is venerated as a saint in the Orthodox Church, and the name has traditionally been more common among Eastern Christians than those in the West. It was popularized in America by actress Natalie Wood (1938-1981), who was born to Russian immigrants.
