feminine · Finnish origin
Kati is a Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian feminine diminutive of Katariina or Katalin, which trace back through Latin Catharina to the Greek name Aikaterine. The Greek name is of uncertain origin, though it was early associated with the Greek word katharos, meaning pure, an etymology that gained wide acceptance through early Christian usage. The name rose to enduring popularity across Europe largely through the veneration of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Related forms include Katja, Katica, and Katri.
