Meaning and origin of Nataly
Nataly is a Latin name that means “form of Natalie; Christmas Day”.
Nataly is a variant spelling of Natalie, which comes from the Latin natale domini, "the birthday of the Lord", meaning Christmas Day. The name was traditionally given to children born around Christmas, and it spread through veneration of Saint Natalia of Nicomedia, an early martyr. Nataly is especially common among Spanish-speaking families, where it is sometimes pronounced nah-tah-LEE, and it also appears in Israel and parts of Europe. The spelling gives a familiar name a slightly distinctive look. Nat and Talie are easy nicknames, and the name feels soft, pretty and dependable.
