Kathie

Kathie is an English given name functioning as a diminutive or pet form of Katherine, which ultimately derives from the Greek name Aikaterine, whose precise root is debated but is commonly associated with the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. It shares its heritage with the broader family of Katherine variants that spread throughout medieval Europe through the veneration of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Related forms include Kathy, Kate, Katie, and Kathryn.
