Kataryne is Greek in Origin.

Kataryne is a rare, ornamental variant of Katherine/Catherine, ultimately from Greek Aikaterinē. The ancient root is debated - possibly linked to the goddess Hecate - but from late antiquity the name was reinterpreted through Greek katharos, “pure,” which supplies its prevailing meaning. Veneration of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and later Catherine of Siena propelled the name across medieval Christendom, and Middle English records show spellings such as Kateryn and Katerine; Kataryne echoes those forms while using a modern y to distinguish it.

International variants include Katherine, Catherine, Kathryn, Katerine, Katarine, Katarina, Katerina, Kateryna (Ukrainian), Kataryna (Belarusian/Polish), and Katarzyna (Polish), with short forms Kate, Cate, Katie, Katy, Kat, and Kitty. Though exceedingly uncommon in contemporary data, Kataryne fits current tastes for revived medieval spellings and stands out while remaining instantly familiar and anchored to the timeless meaning “pure.”
