Tr%c3%adona

The name Tríona is an Irish Gaelic contracted form of Caitríona, itself the Irish equivalent of Katherine, which derives from the Greek name Aikaterine. The ultimate root of Aikaterine is debated, with proposed origins including the Greek katharos, meaning pure, and an association with the goddess Hecate. Tríona functions as an affectionate short form widely used in Ireland as a fully independent given name. Related forms include Caitríona, Katrina, and Catriona.
