Natalee is an American spelling of Natalie, which comes from the Latin natalis, "birthday", and specifically from dies natalis Domini, the birthday of the Lord, so the name is traditionally given to girls born around Christmas. The -lee ending links it to names like Kaylee and Hailee. Natalee entered the US top 1000 in 2003 and peaked at number 507 in 2006; it has since dropped to number 2743 in 2025.
