Kathy is a charming feminine name of Greek origin that is both adorable and fashionably retro. A diminutive of Katherine, which derives from the Greek καθαρός or katharos, Kathy can also be used as a given name in its own right. It means “pure,” offering a subtle nod to baby’s kind and beautiful soul. Boasting somewhat of a classic or timeless feel, this vintage gem peaked in popularity in the late 1950s. Since then, other variants of Katherine or Kathleen, such as Kate or Katie, have become slightly more popular. Nevertheless, Kathy is a stunning choice that can pay homage to baby’s old soul and trendsetting capabilities.
