Kathryn

The definition of beauty and perfection. Her tenderness and genuineness will sweep a man off his feet. She has gorgeous bright eyes that light up your day as soon as you see them. Her smile is like absolute no other. She is shy at first, but once you get to know her true self, she is a ball of excitement. Once she’s comfortable with you (which may take a while) she will sing and dance, scream and shout all night long whether at a concert or a drive around town. She gives you that tingly sensation every time you see her. She’s the one who introduced you to what love is. She could very well be you’re first true love. However, she may also bring you many tears and heartaches if she does not feel the same
“Man did you see Kathryn last night?!”

“.....I did. I was speechless...”

Kathryn

One of the best names in the world. This name means "pure" in Greek. Most Kathryns are beautiful, trustworthy, and over all great. They are humble about this, but they do love attention sometimes. They are great friends and since they are trustworthy, you can tell them all your secrets and problems. Kathryns are just great people in general. They are usually weird, but awesome at the same time. Nicknames are Kat, Kathy, and Kath.
Example 1: Boy 1: Hey I'm gonna go ask Kathryn out on a date. She's just so great!

Boy 2: Not if I get there first!

Example 2: Girl 1- I feel really horrible and I need someone to tell my problems...

Girl 2- Talk to Kathryn, she really listens and understands.

Katharine

The name originated from the Greek Αικατερίνη Aikaterinē (εκ του καθαρός: εξαγνισμένη ή εαρινή, ανοιξιάτικη). The earliest known use of the Greek name was in reference to Saint Catherine of Alexandria.

The theory that the name comes from Hecate, the name of the Greek goddess of magic, is regarded by the editors of the Oxford Dictionary of First Names as unconvincing.1

Another potential origin of the name is the Armenian word Կատար gadar meaning peak or summit. In Armenian, the equivalent name is Կատարինէ Gadarine; coincidentally the ending ինէ ine is homophonous with the modern Greek verb ειναι 'she is', suggesting a macaronic phrase meaning "she is the summit".

The name has subsequently come to be associated with the Greek adjective καθαρός katharos, meaning 'pure', leading to the alternative spellings Katharine and Katherine. The former spelling, with a middle a, was more common in the past and is currently more popular in the United States than in Britain. Katherine, with a middle e, was first recorded in England in 1196 after being brought back from the Crusades.2

Kathryn

A Kathryn is a great friend and is always honest. She has a dirty mouth but almost never means the words she says. She makes fun of her friends to their face but doesnt mean it in a bad way, just to have fun.
She underestimates her intelligence and thinks she will fail on a test all the time. She can make you laugh your head off by just saying a few words. She is extremely hilarious and does things that are hilarious without even trying. She is the best friend ever and if you have her as a friend or a girlfriend you should never give her up.
“Hey, I got a new friend named Kathryn”
