Cathyann is an uncommon, yet captivating female given name of American origin. It is derived from the combination of two popular names: Catherine and Ann. The name Catherine has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages, meaning 'pure' or 'innocent', while Ann is a derivative of Hannah, which means 'grace'. Thus, Cathyann could be interpreted as signifying 'pure grace'. Spelled with an additional 'h' at the end of Catherine and omitting the second 'n' in Ann, Cathyann creates a unique and memorable name. It has gained some popularity over time but remains relatively rare, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking a distinctive moniker.
Cathyann was a popular name for girls born between 1949 and 1979, with peaks in the early 1950s and mid-1960s.
