Natashja
n(a)-tash-ja,
nat(a)-shja
Origin:Danish
Meaning:Birthday; Christmas Day
Nothing celebrates the winter holiday season quite like the festive name Natashja. Traditionally spelled Natasja, this feminine name is a Danish—and possibly Dutch—variant of the Russian Natasha, which, in turn, comes from the Latin Natalia. From the Latin phrase dies natalis, it can translate to “birthday,” or “Christmas day.” If you’ve got a love for this holiday, naming baby Natashja may just inspire them to share in your excitement. It can have some extra meaning if your bundle of joy is joining your family in the month of December.
