Popularity over time
Natali first appears in US Social Security records in 1960. It has never ranked in the national top 1,000, which keeps it genuinely uncommon. Its best national rank was #1,091 in 2005, and the most babies received it in 2006, when 220 were named Natali. In 2025, 45 babies were named Natali, and it ranked #3,438 nationally. That is 25% fewer than ten years earlier, so it is becoming less common.
Its national rank moved from #2,923 in 1980, #1,509 in 2000, #1,398 in 2010, and #3,438 in 2025. Of the 4,822 US girls named Natali since records began, 37% were born in the 2000s, its biggest decade. The 1990s come next, with 1,121 babies. Since 2010, 1,235 more have been named Natali.
