<p>Katriona is a feminine name of Scottish Gaelic origin, being a variant spelling of Catriona, which itself is the Scottish form of Katherine. This name ultimately derives from the Greek 'katharos,' meaning 'pure.' With its flowing four syllables, Katriona has a musical, romantic quality that evokes the misty landscapes of Scotland. The name gained some recognition through Sir Walter Scott's novel 'Kidnapped,' which featured a character named Catriona in its sequel. While less common than Katherine or its variations like Katrina, Katriona offers a distinctive option with clear cultural roots. The spelling with 'K' rather than 'C' makes it slightly more accessible in English-speaking contexts while maintaining its Celtic heritage. The name carries associations of strength and Highland beauty, appealing to parents seeking a name with both historical depth and a melodic quality.</p>
