Katheryn

US Popularity Rank: 6491

Origin: Greek

Meaning: Pure

Your love for baby is one of the purest and most precious feelings you're bound to feel in life. Katheryn is a Greek name that means exactly that: pure! It's a respelling of the more recognizable Katherine, a name inspired by a martyred Greek saint and a close cousin of Catherine, minus the K! Catherine, Princess of Wales, is among the most famous bearers of this timeless name. And let's not forget beloved comic actress Catherine O'Hara, whose career highlights include Home Alone and the inimitable Moira Rose in Schitt's Creek. You can bestow beautiful pet names upon your sweet “bébé” Katheryn (as Moira Rose would say!), including Kathy, Kat, and Katie.
