Meaning of Katty

Katty, a streamlined variant of Katherine or Catalina with Greek roots in the word “Aikaterine” (meaning “pure”), has emerged as a cross-cultural diminutive embraced in both Latin America and English-speaking regions. Pronounced KAH-tee (/ˈkæti/) in English, it charted a modest rise in the United States during the late 20th and early 21st centuries—peaking in the lower 800s in popularity—before settling into the 900s throughout the 2010s and early 2020s. In 2024, nine newborn girls received the name, placing Katty at 941st in national rankings. Its crisp, two-syllable structure balances classical depth with contemporary brevity, making it appealing to parents seeking a name that bridges traditional heritage and modern style while retaining a warm, energetic vibe.
