Pure
Kattie is a diminutive form of Katherine, which originates from the Greek name Aikaterine. While its exact etymology is debated, it is most commonly associated with the Greek word 'katharos', meaning pure. This specific spelling was moderately popular in the late 19th century but is now considered a rare vintage variant.
