Origin of Catherine / Katherine.
Katherine is a feminine name, which comes from the Greek name Aikaterine (Αικατερίνη), of debated origin and meaning.
Theories include:
a) from the Greek Katharsis (see Aristotle's Poetics), meaning to purge or to cleanse -pure/purity of emotion
b) from the Greek word hekáteros (ἑκάτερος), meaning each of the two, singly
c) from the Greek goddess Hecate.
d) from the Greek word aikía (αἰκία ) injurious treatment
The Latin-speaking Romans, through folk etymology, associated the name with the Greek katharós (καθαρός) pure, which led to the variant spelling Katharine/Katharina.
