What is the meaning of the name Katina ?

The baby name Katina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced kuh-TEE-nuh,kah-TEE-nah,/kəˈtiːnə/,/kaˈti.na/.

Katina is Greek in Origin.

Katina is the Greek diminutive of Aikaterine/Katerina (Catherine/Katherine), spelled Κατίνα. The ultimate origin of the Catherine family is debated - possibly linked to Hekátē (Hecate) or associated by folk etymology with katharos, “pure” - so Katina is widely taken to mean “pure” while acknowledging uncertain roots. Used as a familiar form in Greece, it became established as an independent given name in the 20th century.

In English-speaking countries, Katina saw moderate use from the 1960s through the 1980s, particularly among Greek diaspora families; public figures such as Oscar-winning actress Katina Paxinou helped make the name visible. Related forms include Katrina, Katerina, Katarina, Ekaterina/Yekaterina, Katharina, Caterina, Katherine, Kathryn, and Katrine; the variant spelling Catina appears occasionally. Nicknames include Kat, Tina, and Kitty. Katina offers a succinct, vintage alternative within the Catherine/Katherine constellation.
