Nataliia’s (Natalia’s) name day under the new church calendar of the OCU and UGCC is celebrated on 26 August; under the old style it is 8 September. The day honours the holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia of Nicomedia, a married couple who stayed faithful to each other and to their faith. Below are short name day wishes for Nataliia, wishes in your own words, messages for a friend, mom, sister or colleague, and poems.

A personal greeting is always worth more than a template. Think about what makes Natalia special to you and wish her what she dreams of. For example: “Natasha, happy name day! You always know how to be there when it matters most. May Saint Natalia protect you, and may your life hold as much loyalty and love as you give to others.”
Happy name day, Natasha dear!
May happiness be always near,
May life bloom bright in every way
And angels guard you every day!
Natasha, may you always be adored,
May stars shine just for you above,
May every dream be your reward
And may your heart be full of love!
Saint Natalia lived in Nicomedia in the early 4th century. Her husband Adrian, moved by the courage of Christians, converted and died a martyr, while Natalia supported him to the very end. That is why Saints Adrian and Natalia are seen as patrons of marital faithfulness.
At the end of summer, bright seasonal bouquets or roses in a box are a great choice — easy to deliver to the office too.

Nataliia comes from the Latin natalis, “native” or “of Christmas”, the same root as words linked to birth and the Nativity. So a greeting for Nataliia can be full of Christmas warmth and family cosiness:
Under the new church calendar — on 26 August; under the old style — on 8 September.
Martyr Natalia of Nicomedia, wife of the martyr Adrian, who lived in the early 4th century. She is the patroness of marital faithfulness.
