Ecaterina is a Romanian and Bulgarian feminine given name derived from the Greek 'Aikaterine', which means 'pure, unalloyed'. This name was popularized by Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian martyr who is believed to have lived in the 4th century. Ecaterina is often spelled Ekaterina or Ekaterina in other Slavic languages. It is composed of two elements: 'aikater', meaning 'pure', and '-ine', a feminine suffix. In Romania, it was among the top 10 most popular girl names during the late 20th century.
