📖 À propos Kathryn
Kathryn est une orthographe americaine raffinee de Katherine, dont les racines remontent au grec ancien Aikaterine. La theorie la plus repandue relie ce prenom au grec katharos, signifiant 'pur'. La forme latine Catharina s'est repandue dans l'Europe medievale grace a la veneration de sainte Catherine d'Alexandrie, dont la legende a fait du prenom un embleme de sagesse et de purete. L'orthographe 'Kathryn' - avec son 'y' distinctif - est apparue comme un raffinement typiquement americain. En Australie, Kathryn etait regulierement presente dans les classements des prenoms des annees 1950 au debut des annees 1990, atteignant son apogee dans les annees 1960 avec le rang 32.
