Aikaterinos is Greek in Origin.
Aikaterinos (Greek: Αικατερίνος, Aikaterínos) is a rare modern Greek masculine form derived from Aikaterine/Ekaterini (Αικατερίνη), the root of Catherine/Katherine. The base name’s etymology is debated: some link it to the goddess Hecate (Ἑκάτη) or a pre-Greek/Coptic source, while Christian folk etymology associates it with Greek katharos “pure,” yielding the commonly cited meaning “pure.”
As a given name it is very uncommon and appears mainly in Greece and Cyprus as an honor-name or secondary baptismal name; it is also encountered as a patronymic-style surname. Variants and spellings include Katerinos and Ekaterinos; the short form Rinos may occur. Related feminine and international cognates are Aikaterini/Ekaterini, Katerina, Catherine, Katherine, Katarina, Ekaterina, and Italian Caterina; a comparable masculine elsewhere is Italian Caterino. Name days may be kept with Saint Catherine of Alexandria (25 Nov/7 Dec in Orthodox calendars).
Aikaterinos does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
