Katriah is a modern feminine given name likely formed by combining the familiar Kat- root from Katherine/Katharina with the fashionable -riah/-iah ending seen in Mariah, Azariah, and Sariah. The Kat- element traces back to Greek Aikaterine, commonly linked to katharos “pure,” while -iah evokes the Hebrew theophoric suffix associated with Yah. Usage appears sporadically in English-speaking countries in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with no established historical or biblical bearer.

Variants include Katria, Katriyah, Katryah, and Katrya; related forms are Katri (Finnish) and the base names Katherine and Mariah. Nicknames range from Kat and Katie to Tria and Riah. Parents often interpret its meaning as “pure” by association with Katherine, or as a lyrical blend suggesting faith-inflected elegance. The name’s rarity lends it a distinctive, contemporary feel while remaining anchored by the familiar Kat- sound.
