The boy's and girl's name Natalie \n(a)-ta-lie\ is pronounced NAT-a-lee.
It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "birthday". It tends to be 'Christs Birthday' hence the similarity to Nativity.
Refers to the birthday of Christ, or Christmas. There was a fourth-century Saint Natalia. The "h" is silent in the French form Nathalie; some American variants (like Nathalee) are phonetically spelled to retain the "h" sound.
Take a look at http://www.babynames.com it lists a lot of names and most of the meanings are at least close to correct.

I got this from the behind a name website:
NATALIE
Gender: Feminine
Usage: French, English, German
Pronounced: nat-a-LEE (French), NAD-a-lee (English), NAH-tah-lee (German) [key]
From the Late Latin name Natalia, which meant "Christmas Day" from Latin natale domini.
I never knew that!

Natal is Latin for 'Birth' or 'nativity' and Natalis is 'born'.
I suspect that Natalie is the feminine derivative which I haven't confirmed yet!

My guess is that it comes from the Latin natale meaning birth.
