Catherin

Catherin is an English and occasionally French variant spelling of the name rooted in the Greek name Aikaterine, whose meaning remains debated but is often associated with the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. The name was widely popularized in medieval Europe through the veneration of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and later Saint Catherine of Siena. It belongs to a large family of cognates and variants including Katherine, Catherine, Katarina, Karen, and Katelyn.
