Catia
Meaning of Catia
Catia (pronounced KAH-tyah) is a sun-kissed Portuguese variation of Catarina, itself tracing back to the Greek word for “pure.” She sparkles like a dewdrop on a morning rose, carrying that timeless sense of innocence wherever she goes. In the warm markets of Lisbon or under the amber skies of Rio, Catia summons images of bright laughter and spirited dance. Though in the United States she’s a charmingly rare gem—only seven to fifteen newborns each year, hovering in the high 900s—she still feels larger than life. Catia nudges family traditions forward and invites dreams of new adventures. Choosing this name is like handing your daughter a key to gentle strength and endless possibility.
