Catriona

Catriona is the elegant Scottish Gaelic form of Katherine, a name with ancient Greek roots meaning 'pure'. While Katherine journeyed through the Byzantine Empire and medieval Europe, its Scottish variation took hold in the Highlands, retaining its classic grace. It became a name associated with the proud, independent spirit of the Scottish people, particularly after it was popularized by figures like the late 20th-century model and Miss Universe winner.

When you imagine your daughter's name, Catriona sounds like a brush dipped in gold, painting a picture of sophistication and an inner clarity. Writing it on her baby blanket, you feel the weight of its purity and the confident grace it bestows. It’s a name that promises a life lived with intention and elegance.
