What Natália means
Where Natália comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Natália comes from the Latin natalis, an adjective meaning 'of birth.' The Romans spoke of the dies natalis, the day of someone's birth. Christians narrowed the phrase to the dies natalis Domini, the birthday of the Lord. That is how the name gathered its two readings: birthday and Christmas day.
A child born near December 25 could hold that date inside her name. The short meaning stays close to the Latin, urodzona w Boże Narodzenie, born at Christmas.
The Church keeps Saint Natalia of Nicomedia, whose imieniny fall on December 1 in Poland. She stayed beside her husband Adrian while he was imprisoned under the emperor Diocletian.
In a school register the full Natalia fills the column. Friends trim it to Natalka. Nata is shorter still.
