Origin: (Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Irish,
Scottish, Literature, Greek)
Pronunciation: (ka-TREE-na,
ka-TREE-oh-na)
Gender: Female
I heard this name someplace but I
don’t remember where but then a while later I saw this as the name of a woman
that died, she committed suicide and I think she was the girlfriend of actor Jim
Carrey. It was really sad.
The meanings are lovely and
beautiful and the name overall is gorgeous. It is a great alternative to its
variants Catherine *see on list of posts*, Katherine *see on
list of posts*, Katrina, Katharina, Catha *see on list of posts* Katya
*see on list of posts* and Aikaterina.
As
for the pronunciation I prefer ka-TREE-oh-na but that is an
English speaker’s flaw apparently. It is pronounced ka-TREE-na by most in Ireland and Scotland where this name is
popular.
Good Nicknames: Cat, Riona (REE-oh-na or REE-na), Tri (TREE
or Try), and Triona (TREE-oh-na or TREE-na).
