History & Origin

Katryna is a spelling of Katrina, a contracted form of Katherine (Latin Catharina). Katherine is traditionally tied to the Greek katharos, 'pure', the meaning generations of families have attached to it.

The Katryna spelling stayed rare, cresting around 1992 during Katrina's popularity, then fading. It reads as a decorative variant of that era and has not been separately revived.

Did you know? Katrina and its spellings entered English partly through Scandinavian and German immigrants, whose Catharina shortened neatly to the softer Katrina.
