1. Catherinenoun

   A female given name from Ancient Greek.

   - - - despite of what you say of my fine name, I think my head is so obstinate and inflexible that the name Catherine was well chosen. It suits my character. I was given the name by the late Empress Elisabeth, to whom I owe much; she gave it to me out of affection and out of respect for her mother

   Etymology: 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 'th' 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 supposedly tortured on the wheel.
