Rica edrim

Natasha and Natalie have the same latin meaning but they are from different origins.
Natalie is French and is From the Late Latin name Natalia, which meant "Christmas Day" from Latin natale domini.
Natasha however is the Russian pet form of Natalya which is also the french form of Natalie ..I hope I do not sound too confusing lol. :-S
in Greek Natasha = Наташа

Not at all I love the name "Natascha" (Spanish "NATACHA")
By the way, in Spanish there is also a name that means the same: "NATIVIDAD"

Ok, so for those who asked for the Greek version of their names, Νατάσα (or Νατάσσα ) is the short way to call Αναστασία (Αnastasia). As for Marta or Martha, its written like this: Μάρθα and pronounced like Martha.
And Filippa is right. This name comes from Filippos and means the one who likes horses.

I didn't actually ask for my name to be put into Greek but thank you anyway
Also having a little trouble understanding Martha's name in Greek. May I ask why can you not just put Μαρτα instead of Μάρθα? Because doesn't Μαρτα = Marta and Μάρθα = Martha?

I am confused :-S....Please help

If you want to say Martha, you'll use θ. If Μαρτα is the case (which doesnt exist as a name in Greek)then u use τ.

Μάρθα and Μάρτα sound and are different. θ is the letter for th (like in the word thesis) but τ is same with the english t.
