Katiann is of Latin origin and means 'pure'. It is derived from the Latin word 'catharinus', which is itself a masculine form of 'Catherine'. The name gained popularity in the Middle Ages, likely due to the influence of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a revered Christian martyr. Katiann is a unique variation, offering a fresh twist on a classic name while still maintaining its historical roots.
Katiann has seen a steady increase in popularity since the mid-80s, with five babies named Katiann born in 1981 and again in 1985. The name then peaked in the late 80s to early 90s, with six births each in 1987 and 1989 respectively. However, its popularity began to decline by the mid-90s, with only five Katianns born that year. Overall, a total of twenty-seven babies have been named Katiann between 1981 and 1995.
