Nativity, often shortened to Natyia, is a name of Latin origin meaning 'birth'. It was traditionally used for girls born around Christmas time but has since been adopted as a unique given name regardless of birth month. In some cultures, Natyia may also be derived from the Russian name Наталья (Natalya), which shares the same Latin root. The name gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century and has maintained a steady presence on baby naming lists since then. It is often spelled variations such as Natavia, Naticia, or Natty, offering parents creative options to make the name their own.
Natyia saw a steady increase in popularity between 1997 and 2004, with a significant jump from 5 to 8 births in the year 2004. Overall, there were 23 babies named Natyia born during this period.
