Re: Katriona/Catriona gaelic
Certainly is a gaelic name.... named after several generations of irish anscestors....That is not saying that it is not a russian name too... but I would assume a russian version would be Katariana rather than the gaelic Caitriona/Katriona....It is simply just the gaelic for Catherine... (although my Opa calles me KAYJA.... )

Though you mustn't mix Irish-Gaelic and Hiberno-English.Katriona cannot be called Gaelic because of spelling rules: vowel agreement and no 'k.'
