Her original given name was Neta-Lee, a Hebrew name.〔 Translated from the (original ).〕 She is the only child of Shelley (''née'' Stevens), an American homemaker who works as Portman's agent, and Avner Hershlag, an Israeli fertility specialist and gynecologist. Her maternal grandparents, Bernice (''née'' Hurwitz; 1925–2014) and Arthur Stevens〔 (whose family surname was originally "Edelstein"), were from Jewish families that moved to the United States from Austria and Russia.〔Dickerson, p. 22.〕 Natalie's paternal grandparents, Mania (''née'' Portman) and Zvi Yehuda Hershlag, were Jewish immigrants to Israel.〔 Zvi, born in Poland in 1914, moved to what was then Mandatory Palestine in 1938 and eventually became an economics professor; his parents died at Auschwitz.〔 One of Natalie's paternal great-grandmothers was born in Romania and was a spy for British Intelligence during World War II. Portman's parents met at a Jewish student center at Ohio State University, where her mother was selling tickets. They corresponded after her father returned to Israel and were married when her mother visited a few years later. In 1984, when Portman was three years old, the family moved to the United States, where her father received his medical training.〔 Portman, a dual citizen of the United States and Israel, has said that although she "really love() the States... my heart's in Jerusalem. That's where I feel at home."〔 Portman and her family first lived in Washington, D.C., but relocated to Connecticut in 1988 and then moved to Jericho, New York, on Long Island, in 1990.〔Thernstrom, Melanie.
