Catrinette is in Origin.

Catrinette is a rare, charming elaboration formed from Welsh Catrin - a regional form of Catherine - and the French diminutive suffix -ette. Ultimately it derives from Greek Aikaterine, whose meaning is debated; by medieval folk etymology it became associated with katharos, “pure.” The pan-European popularity of Catherine through saints such as Catherine of Alexandria and Catherine of Siena underpins the name’s broad family of forms.

Usage of Catrinette is sporadic and largely modern, appearing as a Franco-Welsh–flavored pet form or creative given name in English- and French-speaking contexts rather than as a traditional vernacular name. Related variants include Catrin, Catrine, Catrina, Catriona, Katrin, Katrina, Katherine/Catherine, Caterina, and Katrine; a parallel spelling Katrinette may also occur. Nicknames range from Cat, Cate, and Kitty to Trin/Trina, Etta, and Nettie. Note that French catherinette refers to St. Catherine’s Day customs, not a standard given name.
