📖 À propos Kathleen
Kathleen est la forme anglicisee du prenom irlandais Caitlin, lui-meme issu du vieux francais Cateline et, en definitive, du grec Aikaterine - un nom associe depuis longtemps a katharos, signifiant 'pur'. Le prenom a voyage a travers le latin sous la forme Catharina et est entre en Irlande par l'influence normande, ou il a ete chaleureusement adopte et transforme en l'irlandais Caitlin. Au XIXe et au debut du XXe siecle, l'emigration irlandaise a exporte Kathleen dans le monde anglophone, ou il est devenu un symbole cheri de l'identite irlandaise. Aux Etats-Unis, le prenom figurait regulierement dans le top 10 a la fin des annees 1940 et au debut des annees 1950. En Australie, il a conserve une presence stable jusqu'aux annees 1990, temoignant de la forte influence irlando-catholique sur les traditions nominatives australiennes.
