Catherine

In English

Origin: From French Catherine, from Ancient Greek Αἰκατερίνη ‎(Aikaterínē), *Ἑκατερίνη ‎(*Hekaterínē), of debated meaning, possibly from ἑκάτερος ‎(hekáteros, “each of the two”), or from the name of the goddess Hecate. The spelling with 'h' in Latin languages, German and English, is due to a folk etymology, dating from Roman times, which associated the name with the Ancient Greek καθαρός ‎(katharós, “pure”). The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the wheel.
