Katiana

Meaning of Katiana

Katiana is a female given name rooted in the classical Greek Aikaterinē, historically meaning “pure,” and has been morphologically adapted through Latin into the Romance languages. In Italian (/ka.ˈta.na/) and Spanish (/ka.ˈtja.na/), the name places stress on the penultimate syllable (ka-tee-AH-nah), while the English form shifts stress and vowel quality to ka-tee-AH-nuh (/kɑˈtiːɑnə/). Associations include Saint Catherine of Alexandria and the broader Hellenic tradition of purity and strength, enhanced by the –iana suffix common in Latin-derived female names. This combination of classical etymology and international phonetic coherence renders Katiana a technically sound yet culturally versatile choice within an Anglo-American naming landscape.
