Kafferin is in Origin.

Kafferin is a modern, rare elaboration of the Katherine/Catherine family of names, ultimately from Greek Aikaterine. The spelling swaps the Latin C for K (common in Germanic and Slavic forms) and echoes the medieval English form Kateryn, while the double f gives it a contemporary, textured look. By long-standing folk etymology, the name’s meaning is “pure,” from Greek katharos, though the earliest Greek form may also relate to the goddess Hekate.

While Kafferin itself has little historical record, its root name has been popular across Europe since the Middle Ages through the cult of Saints Catherine of Alexandria and of Siena. Related international variants include Katherine, Catherine, Katharine, Katerin/Katherin, Kateryn, Katarina/Katerina, Ekaterina, Caterina, Catalina, and Katarzyna; diminutives range from Kate, Kathy, Kit, and Kat to Katya and Trina. Kafferin fits this tradition while offering an uncommon, distinctive twist.
