Katriina

Katriina is the Finnish form of Katherine, ultimately derived from the Greek name Aikaterine, whose precise root remains debated but is often associated with the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. The name was borne by early Christian saints, most notably Catherine of Alexandria, which helped spread it widely across Europe and into the languages of Scandinavia and the Baltic region. Related forms include Katarina, Katrina, and Kaarina.
