Katt is a modern given name, often a clipped and stylized form of Katherine/Catherine, and also occurs as a surname-based choice. Katherine traces to Greek Aikaterine, later linked by folk etymology to katharos, 'pure,' a meaning that guided centuries of use through saints such as Catherine of Alexandria and Catherine of Siena. Medieval English nicknames like Cat, Kit, and Kitty show a long tradition of feline-tinged diminutives; the double-t spelling Katt is reinforced by Scandinavian katt 'cat' and by surname spellings.

As a given name Katt reads contemporary and sometimes unisex, combining the 'pure' sense of Katherine with sleek feline imagery. Usage is most common in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century.
