Katura

Katura is a feminine name with biblical origins, variant of Keturah, who was Abraham's second wife in the Old Testament. The name derives from Hebrew and means "incense" or "fragrance." This alternative spelling maintains the original pronunciation while offering a more phonetic approach. While uncommon in mainstream usage, Katura has maintained a quiet presence, occasionally chosen by parents seeking a name with biblical significance but less common than traditional choices like Sarah or Rebecca. The name carries a mystical, exotic quality with its connection to aromatic incense and ancient heritage. Katura offers a distinctive choice with meaningful historical and spiritual roots while providing a melodic, feminine sound.
