Cognate of the Greek Aikaterinē, the root of which is katharos (pure, unsullied).I've got a 15 year old named Kathryn. When my mother told my grandmother that she had named me Kathryn, my grandmother said "Oh, we have a Kathy now!" The former spelling, with a middle a, was more common in the past and is currently more popular in the United States than in Britain.

I think it is such a cute, pretty and sophisticated name for a little girl, and easy to grow into.This is the name of one of my mother's friends. We have always been very close to one another. That made a lot of sense, though, because when we were growing up, we all went by nicknames (I still do!). Some Irish-language names derive or are adapted from the English-language — Éamon = Edmund or Edward. Irish is known as Irish, Gaelic or Irish Gaelic in English. But whenever I introduced myself to someone new, my older friends would always say "But you can call her Katy." The following summary is intended to cover only the broad principles of spelling and pronunciation. So now everyone calls her "Kathryn", which suits her better than anything else.

This list of Irish-language given names shows Irish language (as Gaeilge) given names and Anglicized or Latinized forms, with English equivalents.

My full name is so much better! But by the time she was no longer little, she decided that "Kathryn" was a much better fit.

Even when you spell it for them. It is not important what texts you read, but the more it is the better you remember how things are written. Or they use the horrific spelling of "Kathyrn" ("Kathy-urn")--ugh.My name is Kathryn and I love it, especially how it is spelled! Me, our sister, our brother, our parents, and our friends! I know a bunch of Katherines and Catherines but no other Kathryns.I really like my name too. I love my name, the spelling, everything! We all agree! Revered for her courage and purity, Catherine in the Irish form, Cathleen, became such a popular name that W. B. Yeats chose it for the heroine of his 1899 play “The Countess Cathleen" which was inspired by an Irish folktale. However people do forever spell it wrong!I have a really good friend named Kathryn and I LOVE how it's spelled:)I also love my name. Second is to read more. Rarely am I ever called Kathryn though, since I was born with the nickname Kate and always hated my given name when I was little, so Kate just stuck. The English sounds used to show the value of the Irish letters are sometimes only approximate, although they are always reasonably close. Some English-language names derive directly from the Irish — Kathleen = Caitlín, Owen = Eoghan. She was named after my mother, who i only recently found out was named after her own paternal grandmother.My elder sister's name is Kathryn. First of two complaints: I was called Kathy as a child and my family still calls me that.

I'm so glad she established my name with no nickname.



I love her so very much.
I love my name, the spelling, everything!My name is Kathryn and growing up I always hated the name and refused to let people call me that shortening it to Katy, when I got to secondary school I didn't care so much and people called me Kathryn but friends and some teachers would call me Katy or Kat. Katherine, with a middle e, was first recorded in England in 1196 after being brought back from the Crusades. They want to add a bunch of "E"'s that don't belong. But Irish isn’t English, and using an English spelling system to represent the sounds of the language (some of which don’t even exist in English: See The Sounds of Irish Gaelic Part 1 and The Sounds of Irish Gaelic Part 2) really doesn’t make a lot of sense. As a little girl, my sister constantly went by nicknames, like "Katy" and "Kathy". Áine (meaning "brightness" or "radiance") is accepted as Anna and Anne (Traditionally and to this day, suffixes may be used to qualify which generation is being referred to e.g., Ruaidhrí Mór and Domhnall Óg are readily understood suffixes. The only thing that I don't like about it is that no one can spell it right, which is really sad. The official standard name in Irish is Gaeilge /ˈɡeːlʲɟə/. I got the best name out of 4 siblings.

Kathryn is probably my least favourite spelling of this name.Katy, Katie,Kathe, Kate, Kathy, Kat, Kitty,Kitty Kat, KitKat, Ryn, Rina, Thryn.Captain Kathryn Janeway, main character on the series Star Trek: Voyager. :):)As I got older, I wanted to be called "Kathryn" instead of the nickname "Katy".
