Origin: Norse

Meaning: Clean, clear, pure

Kathlin is an Old Norse girl’s name inspired by Irish Caitlín. Meaning “clean,” “clear,” or “pure,” it primarily originates from the Greek word katharos, which would eventually spring into Katherine and its countless variants. The name Kathlin may also be one of the thousands listed in Landnámabók, one of Iceland’s most extensive genealogical records. But that doesn’t mean your little star can’t stand out with this unique iteration.
