Soft-spoken and faultless, Kasia is a graceful variation of the feminine name Katarzyna. Polish in origin, Kasia is said to come from the Ancient Greek katharós, which means simply "pure." It's an attractive appellation that has sparked a litany of variations across Europe, each one an ode to a flawless child. However, its etymology is debated, with other theories suggesting it signifies “each of the two,” “far off,” or “my consecration of your name.” Catherine is perhaps its most popular iteration, named for saints, queens, and empresses alike.
