Katode is in Origin.

Katode is an extremely rare modern given name with eclectic roots. In English-speaking use it is often treated as a creative blend: Kato - found as a Japanese surname Katō and as a Luganda given name meaning “younger twin” - combined with ode, from Greek ōdē “song, poem.” As a cross‑linguistic coinage rather than an inherited form, Katode has no fixed traditional meaning, though some interpret it loosely as “song” or “Kato’s ode.”

No widespread traditional use is documented; the name surfaces sporadically in 21st‑century baby‑name discussions and independent fiction, typically as a gender‑neutral choice. Established variants are not recorded, but adjacent or related forms sometimes considered include Kato/Cato and Ode; nicknames may be Kat, Kato, or Ode. Note that similarly spelled terms such as Kathode/Cathode (a scientific word in several languages) and Kadode (Japanese for “departure”) are unrelated to the given name.
