Aikaterine

Aikaterine is a Greek feminine form in the Katherine name family, reflecting Greek Αικατερίνη. The name’s ancient etymology is uncertain. Early Christian tradition later associated it with Greek katharos, “pure,” but this may be a secondary reinterpretation rather than the original derivation. Saint Catherine of Alexandria gave the name lasting Christian importance. Aikaterine is a less common transliteration than Aikaterini. Prominent exact-spelling modern bearers are limited.
