Catrin is Welsh in Origin.
Catrin is the standard Welsh form of Catherine, ultimately from Greek Aikaterine. The name’s meaning is widely given as “pure,” a later Christian association with Greek katharos; scholars note the root is uncertain, with proposed links to the goddess Hecate or to a Coptic phrase meaning “my consecration.” Through the cult of early martyrs - especially St Catherine of Alexandria - the name spread across Europe and entered Welsh use via medieval devotion and Anglo-Norman influence.
In Wales, Catrin appears in records from the Middle Ages and remains a distinctive, gently traditional choice. Notable bearers include Catrin ferch Owain Glyndŵr and the 16th-century Catrin o Ferain (“Mother of Wales”). International relatives and spelling variants range widely: Catherine, Katherine, Kathryn/Cathryn; Katrin (German/Scandinavian); Katarina, Katrina; Ekaterina (Russian), Kateryna (Ukrainian); Caitrín and Caitríona (Irish), Catrìona (Scottish Gaelic). Welsh short forms include Cadi, Cat, and Kit.
