History & Origin

Catelina is a spelling of Catalina, the Spanish form of Katherine. The Greek root is old and not securely explained, but tradition reads it as 'pure' through katharos. Saint Catherine of Alexandria carried the name across Christendom, and Catalina became a Spanish staple. Warm and flowing (said 'kat-uh-LEE-nuh').

It appears very rarely in U.S. data, far behind Catalina. Rare, graceful, and Spanish-rooted.

Did you know? Catalina is the Spanish Katherine, and it sails as a place name too — Santa Catalina Island, off the California coast, named on a saint's feast day (said 'kat-uh-LEE-nuh').
