Pure or crown
Katyra is a modern American invention, likely created as a blend of the Greek-derived name Katherine, meaning 'pure', and the name Kyra or the suffix -ira, which can relate to 'throne' or 'lady'. It follows the trend of adding rhythmic suffixes to established roots to create a unique sound.
