Natalicia is Latin in Origin.

Natalicia is a rare feminine given name rooted in Late Latin natalicius/natalicia, an adjective meaning “of a birthday” and, in Christian contexts, “of the Nativity (Christmas).” Through Spanish and Portuguese, where natalicia and Natalícia remain common adjectives, the term entered naming traditions in Iberia and Latin America; as a personal name it appears infrequently, often chosen for girls born near Christmas. In English-speaking settings, the accent is often omitted.

The name carries the sense “pertaining to birth” or “Christmas-born.” Variants and cognates include Portuguese Natalícia (accented), Spanish Natalicia, and the related forms Natalia, Natalie, Natalina, and Noelia; common nicknames are Nati, Tali, Lia, Lícia, and Nata. Masculine counterparts are Natalicio (Spanish) and Natalício (Portuguese). Usage remains uncommon but stable, with occasional revival alongside other Nat- names and in communities that observe feast-day naming traditions.
