Kitty

US Popularity Rank: 23761

Origin: British

Meaning: Pure

Kitty is a British girl's name that began as a nickname for Katherine, Kathleen, and other similar ladies names back in the day. It was a particularly popular choice throughout he 1900s, but has wained since. Characters from all genres bore this lively title, from Pride and Prejudice to That 70’s Show, and the name is now freed up ready for your little star. While Kitty began as a petname, it quickly came to gather its own name status, and has been known to spread some fun loving joy with its "pure" intentions. Aligning with the trend of classic names making their grand return, Kitty fits right in with the likes of Esther, Vera, Frida, and Peggy.
