What Does the Name Nataly Mean?
Nataly is a variant spelling of Natalie, a feminine name whose established meaning is Christmas Day. It comes from Late Latin Natalia, a feminine name based on the Latin phrase natale domini, meaning birthday of the Lord, and on natalis, meaning of birth. The literal sense is birthday or birthday of the Lord, while the customary English meaning is Christmas Day, because the phrase referred to the birth of Christ. The final -y in Nataly is an English spelling variation, not evidence of a separate origin; the name has the same root as Natalie and Natalia.
Nataly Name History & Origins
The name's root is Latin natalis, meaning of birth, and the related noun natalicia, meaning birthday. Early Christians used dies natalis for a saint's feast day - the day of birth into heaven - and natale domini for Christ's birth. From this vocabulary came the Late Latin feminine name Natalia. A traditional early Christian figure, Saint Natalia of Nicomedia, is remembered as a martyr and is associated with Saint Adrian; her surviving accounts are hagiographic, so they mix devotional tradition with whatever historical memory lies behind them.
The name spread in several European forms: French Nathalie, Spanish and Italian Natalia, Russian Natalya (Наталья), and English Natalie. English Natalie is generally traced to the French form. Nataly is one of the English respellings of that name, along with forms such as Natalee; its development belongs to the history of Natalie and Natalia rather than to a separate root.
