Katarina is a girl's name of Greek origin. Stemming from the ancient Greek katharos, meaning “clean,” “clear,” or "pure," Katarina is a popular Eastern European variation of Katherine and Catherine. As renowned as these titles may be, thanks to a number of royal bearers, Katarina's distinctive spelling actually predates its counterparts. More closely resembling its shared Greek root, one may even celebrate Katarina as the purest of them all.
