Pure
Katey is a diminutive form of Katherine, which is derived from the Greek name Aikaterine. The etymology is debated but is most commonly linked to the Greek word 'katharos', meaning pure. While the 'y' spelling is less common than 'Katie', it offers a slightly more unique visual appeal for this classic nickname-turned-given-name.
