Origin and meaning of Natale
Natale comes from the Latin natalis (dies), 'the day of birth', referring especially to the birth of Christ. It was traditionally given to children born in the Christmas season, as an auspicious, devotional name. Distinctly Italian and once very common in the south, it is rarer today and tied to a taste for tradition. It matches the French Noël and Catalan Nadal, and keeps a warm, festive, deeply homely feel.
