Natal day, the day of a person's birth. The word nativity is chiefly used in speaking of the saints; as, the nativity of St John the Baptist, &c. But when we say the Nativity, it is understood of that of Jesus Christ, or the feast of Christmas.

Natalia, the modern name of the Lesser Asia, being the most westerly part of Turkey in Asia, and consisting of a large peninsula, which extends from the river Euphrates, as far as the Archipelago, the seas of Marmora, the straits of Galipoli and of Constantinople, which separate it from Europe on the west. It is bounded on the north by the Black sea, and on the south by the Mediterranean sea.
