Meaning
“Possibly pure, via Catherine”
Welsh short form of Catrin, the Welsh form of Catherine. Catherine's own etymology is disputed: it may come from the Greek name Hekaterine, meaning 'each of the two', from the goddess Hecate, or from a Greek word meaning 'torture'. Early Christians linked it instead to the Greek word katharos, meaning 'pure', and that is the meaning usually given today.
