What is "catriona"

Catriona (pronounced in Irish "Katrina") is a feminine given name in the English language. It is an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic Catrìona, and the Irish Caitríona. Both Caitríona and Catrìona are Goidelic forms of the English Katherine, which is possibly derived from the Greek for "pure."
