Nathania is a modern feminine given name rooted in Hebrew.

Built on the Hebrew verb natan, “to give,” Nathania carries the sense of a divine gift or blessing; English glosses often render it as “gift of God.”

The name gained currency in English-speaking and Christian communities in the late 19th and 20th centuries, as feminized forms of biblical names became fashionable, and it remains uncommon but recognizable in the Anglophone world, Israel, and parts of Latin America. Variants and cognates include Natania; Netanya, Netania, or Natanya; and the masculine Nethaniah and Nathaniel. Related meaning-names are Theodora and Dorothy. Short forms range from Nia and Tania to Thani, Nat, or Nati. Spelling and pronunciation may vary slightly by region.
