Natasa Origin and Meaning

The name Natasa is a girl's name of Greek origin.

Natasa is a feminine name with Slavic origins, primarily used in Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and other Balkan countries. It is a variant of Natasha, which itself is a diminutive form of the Russian name Natalya or Natalia, derived from the Latin 'natalis,' meaning 'birthday' or 'birth,' with connections to Christmas and the birth of Christ. The name gained wider recognition in the mid-20th century throughout Eastern Europe and has maintained steady popularity in the Balkan region. Natasa has a soft, melodic quality while still sounding strong and distinctive. Unlike the Russian Natasha with its 'sh' sound, Natasa is pronounced with a soft 's,' giving it a slightly different musical quality that reflects its specific cultural origins in South Slavic languages.
