Katriane is in Origin.

Katriane is a French-influenced elaboration of the Katherine/Catherine family, ultimately tracing to Greek Aikaterine. The name’s etymology is debated: it is popularly linked to Greek katharos “pure,” though some scholars connect it to the goddess Hecate or a lost pre-Greek root. Via Latin Caterina and Old French Catherine, the stem spread across Europe, spawning numerous local forms; Katriane patterns itself on French names ending in -iane (Ariane, Juliane), lending a lyrical, contemporary feel.

Usage of Katriane is rare but international, seen in francophone communities and among parents seeking a distinctive twist on classic Catherine. Related variants include Katherine, Catherine, Katharina, Katerina/Katarina, Katrina, Katrine, Caterina, Catarina, Ekaterina/Yekaterina, and Gaelic Catriona/Caitríona. Diminutives such as Kat, Katie, Tria, Riane, and Kati work naturally. Most sources gloss the meaning as “pure,” a timeless virtue-name reading.
