What is the meaning of the name Kath ?

The baby name Kath is a Female name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /kæθ/ ("Kath", rhymes with "math").

Kath is English in Origin.

Kath is an English short form of Katherine/Catherine and related names such as Katharine and Kathleen. The root tracks back to Greek Aikaterine, whose etymology is debated; through medieval reinterpretation with Greek katharos, meaning “pure,” the name gained the well-known sense of purity. Veneration of St. Catherine of Alexandria and St. Catherine of Siena carried the name across Europe into Latin and French, and ultimately into English, where short forms like Kath took hold.

As a familiar name, Kath has been widely used in Britain and other Commonwealth countries and sometimes appears as an independent given name, though it is rarer in the United States. Variants and cognates include Kathy/Kathi/Kathie, Kate, Katy/Katie, Kat; the full forms Catherine/Katherine/Katharine, Kathleen; and international equivalents such as Katarina/Katharina, Catarina/Caterina, Ekaterina, Katja, and Kaja.
