Carin is Scandinavian in Origin.
Carin is the Scandinavian and German spelling variant of Karin, a northern form of Katarina/Katharina that descends from Greek Aikaterinē via Latin Catharina. The most common modern interpretation of the name’s meaning is “pure,” from Greek katharos, though the etymology is debated and may reflect influence from the cult of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. In Sweden and Norway, Carin/Karin has been well established since the Middle Ages, with the C-spelling gaining wider currency in the 19th–20th centuries; it also appears in German records and occasionally in English-speaking countries.
Pronounced KAH-rin in Nordic languages (often KARE-in in English contexts), Carin is related to a broad family that includes Karin, Karen, Carine, Carina, Karina, Katarina, Katharina, Catherine, and Katherine. Diminutives and nicknames include Cari and Carie. Notable bearers include Swedish figures Carin Göring and professional golfer Carin Koch.
