Origin and meaning of Cătălina
Cătălina is the Romanian form of Catherine, from the Greek katharós, 'pure, unblemished'. The name is tied to the venerated Saint Catherine of Alexandria, an important figure in the Romanian Orthodox calendar, which has kept it a traditional name passed down through generations, especially in rural and religious families. It is also loved today for its elegant sound and the shorter, sportier form Cătălin used for boys in the same name family.
