Greek Girl Names That Mean Purity
Greek girl names that mean purity mostly trace back to a single word, katharos, and this list of 131 names shows just how far one root can travel.

GenderGirl
Nine of the names here — Katherine, Catherine, Catalina, Katalina, Kate, Katie, Kathryn, Kaitlyn, and Karina — all descend from the same Greek root, katharos, meaning pure. Spanish, Irish Gaelic, and English each reshaped the sound while keeping the meaning intact.
Ariana and Arianna come from a different Greek strand, 'most holy,' and carry the myth of Ariadne, the Cretan princess who helped Theseus escape the Labyrinth. Kaia is the outlier: its purity meaning is Scandinavian, not Greek, though it appears on this list too.
Greek Girl Names That Mean Purity: One Root, Many Faces
Greek girl names that mean purity built around katharos show a split in fortune. Catalina (#111) and Catherine (#314) are both climbing again, and Katalina and Kate are rising too, while the mid-century American staples Katherine, Katie, Kathryn, and Kaitlyn have slipped. Karina holds steady at #750, a reminder that a name's popularity moves even when its meaning never does.
Ariana, Arianna, and the Myth Behind 'Most Holy'
The Ariana and Arianna spelling split shows how one Greek name forks in English: Ariana currently outranks Arianna, though both are falling from earlier peaks. Their myth is specific — Ariadne gave Theseus the thread that let him escape the Labyrinth, a story of guidance and integrity that pairs naturally with 'most holy.' Kaia sits apart, carrying 'earth' in Greek and 'pure' only through its separate Scandinavian reading.
