Meaning & origin
Natha is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1920, with its peak in 1935. It has since remained stable in usage at very low levels. The name's meaning is uncertain, but it is likely a variant or feminine form of Nathan, a Hebrew name meaning 'he gave.' Natha has never ranked among the top names and is not concentrated in any particular state. Its rarity gives it a distinctive, old-fashioned charm.
Natha is a rare name of uncertain etymology. It may be a variant of Nathan, which derives from the Hebrew name Natan meaning 'he gave,' used as a short form of Nathanael. Alternatively, it could be a feminine form of Nathan, though this usage is uncommon. The name saw modest use in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s.
