What Does the Name Nathaly Mean?
Nathaly is a feminine given name meaning "born on Christmas Day" or "Christmas child." It is a variant spelling of Natalie, also spelled Nathalie, and goes back to Late Latin Natalia, the feminine form of Natalius. That name is based on the Latin adjective natalis, "of birth" or "natal," from natus, "born," the past participle of nasci, "to be born." In early Christian usage, Natalia was connected with dies natalis, the "birthday" or nativity of Christ, so the literal idea of birth became the customary meaning "born at Christmas." The th in the spelling matches the French form Nathalie; it is not related to the Hebrew name Nathaniel, and Nathaly is not a feminine form of Nathaniel.
Nathaly Name History & Origins
The Latin name Natalia belonged to early Christian culture, where the word natalis could refer to a martyr's heavenly birthday as well as to Christ's Nativity. Tradition names a Saint Natalia, wife of the martyr Saint Adrian of Nicomedia, and the name was carried into Greek and Slavic Christianity as Natalia and Natalya. In Western Europe it took forms such as French Nathalie, Spanish and Italian Natalia, and English Natalie. English adopted the name as Natalie, while the French spelling Nathalie also appears in English use.
Nathaly is a later respelling that keeps the Nath- of Nathalie and replaces the ending with -y, a familiar English feminine ending. It is found in English-speaking countries and in Latin America, where Nataly and similar spellings are also used. Its history is the history of Natalie; the -y spelling does not add a separate meaning or indicate a different origin.
