Thinking about the name
Kattie
Greek origin
“A variant spelling of Katie, itself a diminutive of Katherine, meaning 'pure.' Kattie maintains the friendly, approachable energy of Katie while the double-t spelling gives it a slightly more distinctive, individualized feel. This spelling emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought unique variations on classic names.”
