Katri

Katri is a Finnish feminine given name derived from the Greek Aikaterine, whose deeper roots are debated but possibly connected to the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. It serves as the Finnish form of Katherine, entering Scandinavian and Baltic-Finnish naming traditions through early Christian influence and the veneration of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The name has been consistently popular in Finland and is closely related to the forms Kaarina, Katariina, and Kaisa, all of which trace back to the same Greek origin.
