I'm quite sure the meaning of
Katherine
(and its variants) is "pure."

From what's written here and elsewhere I'd actually take "pure" to be the least likely to be correct. It's clear it was associated with that meaning later, but that is not the original meaning.

Ditto.
Pure has more or less been discounted.
