The baby name Natasha is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: /nəˈtæʃə/ (nuh-TASH-uh); Russian: [nɐˈtaʂə] (nah-TAH-shuh).

Natasha is in Origin.

Natasha is the Russian diminutive (hypocoristic) of Natalya/Natalia, from Late Latin natalis, meaning 'birth,' associated with the Nativity of Christ and often glossed as 'born at Christmas.' In Slavic tradition, Natasha functioned as an affectionate everyday form while Natalya/Natalia was the formal record; only outside Russia did Natasha become widely used as an independent given name.

Well known via Tolstoy’s Natasha Rostova in War and Peace, the name entered English usage in the early 20th century and peaked in the 1980s–90s in Britain, North America, and Australasia. International variants include Natalia and Natalie; Natacha (French), Natascha (German), Natasja (Dutch/Scandinavian), Nataša (Czech, Slovene, Serbo-Croatian), and Natasza (Polish). Common short forms are Tasha, Tash, Nat, Nata, and Tasya. Core meaning centers on birth and Christmas, symbolizing new life and celebration.
