Katryne is in Origin.
Katryne is a rare English variant of Katherine/Catherine, ultimately from Greek Aikaterine. The original etymology is disputed, but from late antiquity the name was reshaped by association with Greek katharos, “pure,” which supplies the usual meaning. It entered English through Latin Katherina and Old French Catherine; before spelling was standardized, i and y alternated freely, yielding forms like Kateryne and Katryne in late medieval and early modern records in England and Scotland.
Usage has endured for centuries thanks to veneration of Saints Catherine of Alexandria and Catherine of Siena and the prestige of royal bearers across Europe. Today Katryne feels both archaic and modern, echoing Kathryn and the Scandinavian Katrine. Related variants include Katherine, Catherine, Kathryn, Kathryne, Katrine, Katrina, Katarina, Katarzyna, and Kateryna; short forms abound, such as Kate, Katie, Kat, Kit, and Kitty.
