Kathina

A festival of giving and gratitude for Buddhists in South-East Asia, at the end of the rainy season. With the spiritual connotations and the similar sounds to Katherine and Athena, it's almost surprising this is so rare as a name.

Pronounced kuh-THEE-nuh.

As of October 2026, Kathina ranked #9561 in US births in 1983 SSA, peaked at #7688 in 1972.
