Reply to:	The correct pron. of Catriona 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.

      - I don't think so. Katriona/Catriona are Gaelic names. - Haven Jun 3 2004, 12:14:42 PM
