Re: Masculine form of Catherine?
in reply to a message by Nifty_Name_Nerd
Cathrinus is a Latinized masculine version of the feminine name Katherine. The name originated from the Greek feminine name Αἰκατερίνα or Αἰκατερίνη (Aikaterina, Aikaterinē), which is of unknown etymology. The earliest known use of the Greek name is in reference to one of the first Christian saints, Catherine of Alexandria. Cathrinus is a rare name.
