Catriona

Catriona is a beautiful name of Celtic origin, derived from the Greek name Katherine, meaning 'pure'. It's quite popular in Scotland and Ireland, often pronounced like 'Katrina'. While it is a familiar name in Celtic regions, it retains a sense of elegance and rarity outside these areas. Catriona Balfe, an actress known for her role in the TV series Outlander, has brought extra attention to this charming name. Nicknames such as Cat, Trina, or Riona provide plenty of options for those who like to keep it informal. If you're aiming for a name that's both classic and gently exotic, Catriona could be a great choice.
