Nathan David Saatchi (Arabic: ناثان دافيد ساعتجي; 24 December 1907 – 31 May 2000) was an Iraqi businessman and textile merchant.
Saatchi was born on 24 December 1907 into a middle-class Jewish family in Baghdad, then part of the Ottoman Empire.[1] The name "Saatchi" (sā'atchi), which means "watchmaker", originates from Ottoman Turkish (Saat: Originally from Arabic, -çi: Turkish suffix meaning maker in context). He later moved to London.[2]
