Catreenah is Greek, Irish in Origin.

Catreenah is a modern phonetic respelling of the Gaelic name Catríona (Irish) / Catrìona (Scottish), both long-established Gaelic forms of Catherine. Catherine itself comes from Greek Aikaterinē; its exact root is debated, but it was early associated with katharos, “pure,” a meaning still widely given. Some scholars connect the Greek to the theonym Hekátē or to an older, pre-Greek element, so “pure” is a traditional rather than certain etymology.

Thanks to medieval devotion to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the name spread across Europe and entered the Gaelic world, where it flourished in clan and parish records and in literary use. Catreenah preserves the Gaelic stress pattern ka-TREE-na in English spelling. Related international variants include Catherine, Katherine, Katarina, Katharina, Caterina, Katrina, Catrina, Catriona/Catríona/Catrìona, and Polish Katarzyna; diminutives range from Tríona and Rìona to Kate, Cate, Kitty, Kat, Rina, and Trina.
