Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Katrina je medzinárodná podoba mena Katarína, ktoré vychádza zo starogréckeho mena Aikaterinē. Jeho pôvodný význam nie je spoľahlivo objasnený; tradičné spojenie s gréckym prídavným menom katharós vo význame „čistý“ vzniklo pravdepodobne dodatočným ľudovoetymologickým výkladom.
