[Facts] Re: Natale
in reply to a message by Bex
It's a place name, too! Natale = Birthday, and as a name refers to December 25 ... as does the South African province of KwaZulu Natal, which was named Natal by passing Portuguese sailors who saw its lovely coastline for the first time one Christmas day in the 16th century (I think! Bit hazy on the dates ...).
