Natalie comes from the Latin natale domini, “birthday of the Lord,” and was traditionally given to girls born at Christmas. Its Russian form is Natalia.
IS a bloom word: directly the English flower name, from Latin 'rosa' (the rose). Also used historically as a short form of Germanic names with the element 'hrod' (fame), but the enduring modern sense is the flower itself.
Natalie is more popular than Rose today: about 2,736 US babies were given the name Natalie in 2025, compared with 2,386 named Rose.
Natalie means Christmas Day; birth (Latin origin), while Rose means Rose (latin origin).
In US records, Natalie first appears in 1880 and Rose in 1880, so Natalie has the longer recorded history.
