The story of Natassia
The Latin verb nasci, to be born, is one of the most productive roots English has. A nation is a group born in the same place. Nature is what a thing is born with. Innate is born-in. Pregnant, cognate, native, nascent and renaissance all carry it, and so does naive — which means, precisely, native: unschooled, as one was born. That is worth noticing, because naive is now an insult and the word it descends from was not; the shift happened in French before English borrowed it, and the older sense of natural and unaffected survived alongside the new one for a long time. The name here comes from the same root by a different road, through the Latin adjective for the Nativity, which is why it belongs to Christmas and why the Italian Natale and the French Noel are relatives of it.
Meaning
of the birth
The Latin adjective behind it refers to the Nativity, so the name originally marked a child born at Christmas. The Russian familiar form is what American families usually meant by this spelling, and it descends from the same Latin word by way of the Orthodox calendar.

Fashion outlook
Natassia sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.

The trade-off
- Several short forms come out of it and they sound quite different from one another.
- The meaning is documented and ties the name to a specific day.
- The stress falls where an English reader expects.
- Natasha, Natasia and Natassja are all recorded and will be written for it.
- The syllable count is unstable, so the name is said two ways.
- The doubled letter is silent, so the spelling must be given aloud every time.
