I THINK YOU FORGOT TO TAKE YOUR CAPS BUTTON OFF...Likely a form of Natalie. Natalie can be traced back to Latin natalis, which if you replace the l with a d and add a 'y', which is common moderly to add in new letters and create alternative pronounciations and spellings. Natalis means birthday. I disagree with this site Natalie means 'christmas day'. Natale domini, or the birth of the son, refers to Christ's supposed birth on Dec. 25. The Natale portion, which Natalie is from, is only associated with birth, and not 'the son' or Christ.
