Natividade is Portuguese in Origin.

Natividade is a Portuguese feminine given name from Latin nativitas “birth; nativity,” referring to the birth of Jesus and, by extension, Christmas. Rooted in Catholic devotion, it entered Iberian use as a devotional choice for girls born near Christmas or the Nativity of Mary (8 September). The name is documented in Portugal and Brazil since the early modern period, with broader popularity in the 19th–20th centuries; today it is uncommon but familiar, surviving in place names and Marian titles such as Nossa Senhora da Natividade.

Variants include Spanish Natividad, Italian Natività, and rare French Nativité; the Latin is Nativitas. Related forms are Natalício and Natalino (masculine), plus Natalia/Natalie and Noel/Noelle. The short form Nati appears in Lusophone and Hispanic settings. Semantically, Natividade evokes birth, renewal, and festive blessing.
