Kateri
Meaning of Kateri
Kateri, a female name rooted in the Mohawk form of Catherine, draws much of its resonance from St. Kateri Tekakwitha (1656–1680), the first Native American saint whose 2012 canonization prompted a subtle rise in its use. Pronounced kuh-TAIR-ee (/kəˈtɛri/), the name unfolds with a poised rhythm, reminiscent of a gentle qanat flow beneath a Persian rose garden—an evocation of both resilience and serenity. Analytically, Kateri has hovered near the 900th rank for newborn girls in recent years, its resurgence arriving on registries sans catchy hashtag, a testament to its enduring story over fleeting trends. Bridging Indigenous heritage with timeless elegance, it offers parents a choice as artfully balanced as the intricate mosaics of Isfahan.
