Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Katya je medzinárodný prepis ruského a ukrajinského domáckeho tvaru Катя, odvodeného od mien Jekaterina a Kateryna. Tie pokračujú v gréckom mene Aikaterinē, ktorého pôvodný význam nie je bezpečne objasnený; tradičné spojenie s gréckym katharós, teda čistý, sa pokladá za druhotné.
