This variant spelling maintains the same pronunciation while offering a slightly more streamlined appearance. Katlin gained some popularity in the 1980s and 1990s when similar names like Kaitlyn and Caitlyn were trending. The name carries connotations of purity and clarity from its ultimate Katherine origins, which mean 'pure.'

Du is an extremely rare feminine given name in English-speaking contexts, though it functions more commonly as a surname of Chinese, Vietnamese, or French origin. As a Chinese surname (杜), it ranks among the common family names and means "elm tree." In Vietnamese contexts, the surname Dư has distinct cultural meanings. The brevity of Du as a given name gives it a minimalist, modern quality that might appeal to parents seeking extreme simplicity. Its pronunciation is straightforward but could invite questions due to its uncommon nature as a first name. In Western contexts, Du might be used as a nickname or short form for longer names like Duane or duplicity-related names, though its standalone usage as a feminine name remains exceptionally uncommon.
