Katey

Katey is an English given name functioning as a familiar diminutive of Katherine, which derives ultimately from the Greek name Aikaterine, a name of disputed origin possibly connected to the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. It follows the same pattern as Katie and Katy, with the variant spelling lending it a slightly more distinctive or vintage feel. The broader Katherine family includes forms such as Catherine, Kate, Kathleen, and Karen across various European traditions.
