Christmas Day or birthday
Natalea is a variant of Natalia, which is derived from the Latin phrase 'dies natalis' meaning 'birthday'. Historically, the name was often given to children born on Christmas Day, celebrating the birth of Christ. This specific spelling is a modern elaboration of the traditional form.
