Kadri

Kadri functions as both a feminine and masculine name across different cultures. As a feminine Estonian name, it is a vernacular short form of Katariina, itself derived from the Greek name Aikaterine, whose meaning is debated but often associated with the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. As a masculine Turkish and Albanian name, Kadri derives from the Arabic root q-d-r, conveying the sense of power, capability, or divine decree, and is related to the name Qadir. Variant forms include Kader and Kadir in Turkish contexts, and Katri as a parallel Estonian diminutive.
