Natalye is a name of Latin origin, derived from the Latin word "natalis," which means "birthday." The name is often associated with the Christmas season due to its similarity to the Latin phrase "dies natalis," meaning "day of birth" or "birthday," but it has no direct connection to Christmas itself. Natalye is a unique and elegant name that can be used for both girls and boys, though it is more commonly given to girls. It is not a particularly common name, making it a distinctive choice for parents looking for something different for their child. Overall, Natalye is a beautiful and meaningful name with a rich history rooted in Latin origins.
The name Natalye has had a varied history of popularity in the United States over the past few decades. In the early years recorded, from 1973 to 1987, there were only sporadic instances where this name was given to newborns, with an average of about 5 births per year.
However, starting from 1990, we begin to see a steady increase in the number of babies named Natalye. The highest point was reached in 2006 with 26 births that year, more than quadruple the average rate in the preceding years.
After this peak, the popularity of the name started to decline again. From 2010 onwards, there were typically around 10-15 births per year with the name Natalye. The most recent data from 2019 shows a further decrease to just 5 births that year.
In total, over these years, there have been 342 babies named Natalye in the United States. While it may not be among the most popular names, its consistent presence on the charts demonstrates that it remains a recognized and chosen name for newborns across different periods.
