Re: The correct pron. of Catriona
in reply to a message by Haven
Can 100% guarantee that it is pronouced Ka-tree-na and is a Scottish/Irish gaelic name. Some English people generations back couldn't understand gaelic and therefore pronounced it Kat-tree-o-na, which is technically wrong but has stuck in some parts of the world. To clarify - the orginal pronounciation is Ka-tree-na and that's why it has been anglicised to Katrina.
