History & Origin

Nitasha is an American respelling of Natasha, the Russian pet form of Natalia. That line comes from Latin natalis, 'birthday', and the Nativity, giving the sense 'born at Christmas'. Nitasha keeps the melody and meaning while swapping the opening vowel.

It stayed a small name: only a couple dozen girls a year, with a high point around 1988 and a run continuing thinly into the twenty-tens. A girl named Nitasha then is in her thirties now. It travels with the Natasha spellings of its era rather than as a current favorite.
