List of names derived from Aikaterinē

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of names derived from Aikaterinē. Aikaterinē, or Αικατερίνη, is a Greek given name for a female. Its origin and meaning are debated. It could derive from the earlier Greek name Hekaterine, which came from hekateros "each of the two". It could derive from the name of the goddess Hecate. It could be related to Greek aikia "torture". It could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans falsely derived it from Greek katharos "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this.
