Katelin

Katelin is a modern English spelling variant of Katelyn, itself a combination of Kate, the short form of Katherine, with the popular suffix -lyn. Katherine traces back through Latin and Greek to a name of uncertain ancient origin, possibly derived from the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. The name gained widespread use in the medieval period largely through the veneration of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Related forms include Caitlin, Kaitlyn, Katelyn, and Katelynn.
