Catline
Catline Origin and Meaning
Catline is a feminine name that appears to be a medieval variant or alternative spelling of Catherine, a name ultimately derived from the Greek 'katharos' meaning 'pure.' This distinctive form may have emerged as a regional pronunciation or scribal variation in historical documents. The name has a delicate, refined quality while maintaining the recognizable connection to the Catherine family of names. Unlike the more common Caitlin or Kathleen, Catline remains relatively unusual, giving it a distinctive character while still feeling familiar. The name's rhythm, with emphasis on the first syllable, gives it a gentle cadence. Though rarely found in contemporary usage statistics, Catline might appeal to parents seeking a name with historical connections and traditional roots but presented in a less common form.
