Is Natali a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Natali has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 61 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Natali: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Natali, and how old are they?
4,750 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 4,822 Americans ever recorded as Natali. The median Natali alive today is 22 years old; half are between 16 and 32.
The 2020 Census counted 5,473 people named Natali (5,426 women and girls, 47 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 4,465 born in the U.S. The Census count is 23% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Natali rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Natali is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Natali is most over-represented in California: since 1960 it was given 2.0 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Natali with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 504,159 babies since 1880, Natali is the sixth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 45 of their 5,252 babies (<1%), again the sixth most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
