History & Origin
Natalea is a respelling of Natalia and Natalie, from the Latin natalis, 'birthday,' a reference to the Nativity that made it a traditional Christmas name. As Natalie and Natalia rose in America, parents gave them many spellings. Natalea first appears in United States birth records around 1976 and touched a small high around 2005, with use into the 2020s.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak. A Natalea from that high would be a teenager or young adult now; the standard Natalie remains the usual choice.
