Pure
Kathryne is a variant of Katherine, which is derived from the Greek name Aikaterine. While the exact etymology is debated, it has been associated with the Greek word 'katharos' meaning pure since the early Christian era. This specific spelling adds a French-influenced 'e' ending to the traditional English form.
