Catie Origin and Meaning
The name Catie is a girl's name.
Catie is a feminine name primarily used as a diminutive form of Catherine or Katherine, which derives from the Greek name Aikaterine, possibly meaning "pure." This cheerful, approachable nickname has evolved into a given name in its own right, offering a more casual alternative to the formal Catherine while maintaining its elegant heritage. Catie gained popularity in the late 20th century as parents began favoring names with a friendly, accessible quality. The spelling variation with 'ie' instead of 'y' gives it a slightly more youthful, contemporary feel than the alternative Caty. While less common than Kate or Katie, Catie provides a distinctive yet recognizable option that works well throughout all stages of life.
