Meaning & origin
Nathalie is the French spelling of Natalie, a name that has been used in the United States since at least 1881. It reached its peak popularity in 2009, and has since been declining in use. The name is more common in states like Maryland, Arizona, and Florida. The French variant appeals to parents seeking an elegant, slightly international touch.
Nathalie is the French form of Natalia, which derives from the Latin 'natale domini' meaning 'birth of the Lord.' The name has been used in France since the Middle Ages and became popular across Europe in various forms. It saw a surge in English-speaking countries in the 20th century, often associated with the French variant spelling.
