Natia (Georgian: ნათია) is a feminine Georgian given name, a diminutive of Natela. It is ultimately derived from the Georgian word ნათელი (nateli), meaning "light" or "bright" — the same lexical root found in Natela and other related names. Names built on the concept of light are widespread across many cultures, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, or divinity; in Georgian tradition, such names carry a positive and aspirational meaning.Popularity and UsageAccording to Georgia's Public Service Hall, Natia is consistently among the top 10 most common names given to girls in the country. Its frequent usage reflects both its pleasant sound and its connection to native linguistic roots. The name is also found among the Georgian diaspora, though it remains overwhelmingly associated with Georgia.Notable BearersNatia Danelia (born 2003), Georgian footballerNatia Janjgava (born 1972), Georgian chess playerNatia Pantsulaia (born 1991), Ukrainian footballerNatia Skhirtladze (born 1990), Georgian football defenderNatia Todua (born 1996), Georgian-German singerAs these bearers show, Natia appears in sports (notably football) and the arts.
