History & Origin
Natali is a streamlined international spelling of Natalie, from Latin natale domini, 'birthday of the Lord' β originally bestowed on Christmas-born daughters. The name spread through Orthodox Russia as Natalia (St. Natalia of Nicomedia anchoring its calendar) and through France as Natalie before conquering America in the twentieth century.
The -i spelling is common in the Balkans, Israel, and Latin America, and arrived in U.S. records through those communities. It remains a rare variant beside the evergreen Natalie and the rising Natalia.
