Katey is in Origin.
Katey is an English diminutive formed from Kate + the affectionate -y/-ey ending, used as a pet form of Katherine, Catherine, or Kathryn. The name ultimately traces to Greek Aikaterine; its etymology is debated, but it is commonly connected to katharos, meaning “pure,” sometimes also linked to the goddess Hecate. Through the fame of Saints Catherine of Alexandria and Catherine of Siena, the root name spread across medieval Europe and remained a staple in English usage.
As a spelling, Katey appears in British and American records by the 19th century and has stayed rarer than Katie or Katy, gaining some late-20th-century notice via actress Katey Sagal. Close variants include Katie, Katy, Catey, and Catie; related formal forms are Katherine, Catherine, and Kathryn. International counterparts include Katarina/Catarina, Ekaterina, Catriona, and Caitlin. Common short forms are Kate, Cate, Kit, and Kitty. Meaning is typically given as “pure” or “clear.”
