History & Origin

Natoshia is an elaborated American spelling of Natosha, a respelling of Natasha, the Russian diminutive of Natalia. That line comes from Latin natalis, 'birthday', and the Nativity, giving 'born at Christmas'. Natoshia keeps the meaning and adds a decorative ending.

It stayed a small name: only a couple dozen girls a year, with a high point around 1982 and a run that thins out by the late nineties. A girl named Natoshia then is in her forties now. It sits with the Natasha and Natosha spellings rather than as a name currently returning.

Did you know? Natoshia is Natasha in fancy dress: the -oshia spelling elaborates a name that reaches, through Natalia, to the Latin for a Christmas birth.
