Cathryne, derived from the Greek 'Katherine', is an uncommon yet elegant female given name of Latin origin. It means "pure" or "clear". The name has been used sparingly throughout history, perhaps contributing to its distinctive charm. It consists of four syllables, with a soft 'th' sound in the middle, providing a gentle rhythm when spoken aloud.
The name Cathryne experienced periods of popularity and decline over the years. Between 1915 and 1922, there was a significant surge in its usage, with an average of over 11 births per year. However, this trend did not continue, and by the late 1930s and early 1940s, Cathryne's popularity had significantly decreased, with only five births reported each year between 1936 and 1943. The name made a comeback in the mid to late 1950s, with peaks of 13 births in 1958 and 11 births in 1964. Despite these fluctuations, Cathryne's total births from 1907 to 2006 amount to 535.
