Meaning and history
Variant of Catherine, from the Greek Aikaterine, often linked to katharos, "pure." The name is closely associated with La Calavera Catrina, José Guadalupe Posada's iconic early 20th-century etching of an elegantly dressed skeleton, now a central image of Mexico's Día de los Muertos.
