What is the meaning of the name cathrie ?

cathrie is Greek in Origin.

Cathrie is a rare modern feminine name, almost certainly a creative spelling of Catherine/Cathrine. Those forms trace to Greek Aikaterinē, associated by medieval Christians with katharos, “pure,” which fixed the widespread meaning “pure/clear.” Through the cults of Saints Catherine of Alexandria and Catherine of Siena, the name flourished across Europe from the Middle Ages onward and produced a large family of spellings in English and other languages.

In that context, Cathrie appears sporadically in late 20th–21st‑century English‑speaking records, likely molded by the diminutive Cathy and by surname‑like endings (compare Guthrie) to achieve a brisk two‑syllable look. Related forms include Catherine, Katherine, Katharine, Cathrine, Kathryn, Cathryn, and international variants such as Caterina, Katarina, Katarzyna, Kateryna, Ekaterina, and Caitríona/Catrìona. Diminutives include Cath, Cathy, Cate, Kate, Kitty, and Katie. Meaning aligns with the Catherine family: “pure,” sometimes poetically rendered “clear” or “unsullied.”
