Census
Nattalie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 274 people with the first name Nattalie, which placed it at #31,306 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Nattalie
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Nattalie is White at 51.1%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (31.0%) and Black (10.6%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Nattalie described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Nattalie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Nattalie
The name Nattalie has its roots in the Latin name Natalia, which is derived from the Latin word "natalis," meaning "birth" or "natal day." This name is believed to have originated in ancient Rome during the early Christian era.
Nattalie is a variant spelling of the more common name Natalie, which has been used across various cultures and languages throughout history. In the early Christian tradition, the name Natalie was often given to girls born on or around Christmas Day, as the name's connection to "birth" was seen as a fitting tribute to the birth of Jesus Christ.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Nattalie can be found in the writings of St. Jerome, a 4th-century Christian scholar and theologian. He mentioned a woman named Natalia in his letters, though it is unclear if this was the same spelling as Nattalie.
In the Middle Ages, the name Natalie gained popularity in various European regions, particularly in France, where it was sometimes spelled as Nathalie. During this period, the name was associated with nobility and was often bestowed upon daughters of aristocratic families.
One notable historical figure with the name Nattalie was Nattalia of Milan, a 12th-century Italian noblewoman and patron of the arts. She was instrumental in the construction of several churches and monasteries in the region.
In the 16th century, Nattalie Boulogne was a prominent French painter and one of the few female artists of her time to achieve recognition. She was known for her portraits and religious paintings.
During the 18th century, Nattalie Delaplanche was a French writer and feminist activist who advocated for women's rights and education. Her writings and speeches were influential in shaping the early feminist movement in France.
In the 19th century, Nattalie Sarraute was a Russian-born French novelist and literary critic. She was a pioneer of the nouveau roman movement and her works explored themes of identity and human relationships.
Another notable figure was Nattalie Lemel, a 19th-century American suffragist and abolitionist. She was active in the women's rights movement and worked alongside prominent leaders like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

FAQ
Nattalie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Nattalie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 215 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Nattalie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,594,206 US residents.
Is Nattalie a common name?
We classify Nattalie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 75.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 219 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Nattalie most popular?
The single biggest year for Nattalie was 2008, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Nattalie is about 23 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Nattalie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 274 people with the name Nattalie, or 0.09 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #31,306 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Nattalie in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Nattalie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Nattalie appears almost entirely female. Of the 271 people counted with this name, 99.3% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Nattalie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Nattalie is White at 51.1%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (31.0%) and Black (10.6%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Nattalie most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Nattalie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 51.1% (140 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Nattalie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Nattalie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Nattalie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Nattalie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Nattalie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Nattalie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
