Katri

Katri is a Finnish feminine name functioning as a short form of Katariina, the Finnish equivalent of Katherine. Katherine ultimately derives from the Greek name Aikaterine, whose meaning remains debated but is often associated with the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. The name has been widely used in Finland for centuries, partly through the enduring influence of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Related forms include Katariina, Kaarina, and Kati.
