Natale (given name)

Natale is an Italian masculine given name derived from the Latin word natalis, meaning "birthday," specifically referring to the birth of Jesus Christ (Christmas). As such, it is traditionally given to children born around the Christmas season. The name is less common as a feminine given name, where "Natalia" or "Noelle" are more frequently used. Natale, while less common outside of Italian-speaking regions, is still recognized and understood as a name referencing the Christmas holiday.
