Cathrine Origin and Meaning

The name Cathrine is a girl's name.

Cathrine is a variation of Catherine, one of the most enduring feminine names throughout Western history. Derived from the Greek name 'Aikaterine,' its meaning remains debated, with possible origins relating to the Greek word 'katharos' meaning 'pure.' This particular spelling, without the 'e' between 'th' and 'r,' gives the classic name a slightly distinctive appearance while maintaining its traditional pronunciation. While less common than Catherine or Katherine, Cathrine appears regularly in Scandinavian countries. The name carries the same regal associations as its variants, connected to numerous queens, saints, and notable historical figures. Cathrine conveys elegance, timelessness, and strength, appealing to those who appreciate traditional names with a subtle twist.
