Cattarin is Greek in Origin.

Cattarin is a rare Venetian and Istrian form of Caterina/Katarina, ultimately from Greek Aikaterinē. In Venetian dialect the -in ending marks a familiar diminutive, so Cattarin (also written Cattarìn or Catarìn) functions as an affectionate variant of Caterina. The name is commonly glossed as “pure,” reflecting the medieval association of Aikaterinē with Greek katharos, though the original Greek etymology is uncertain. Its use was reinforced by the widespread cults of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Catherine of Siena throughout late medieval Europe.

Records show the name in parish registers across the Veneto, Friuli, Istria, and Dalmatia, and later in diaspora communities, though today it is rarer as a given name than as a patronymic surname derived from di Cattarin. Related forms include Catherine/Katherine, Caterina, Katarina, Katerina, Katrin, Catrin, and Katerin; nicknames and short forms range from Cate, Kat, and Kit to Rina, Tina, and Trina. Spelled variant: Catarin.
