Seems to me this should be Catherine rather than Katherine, theplosive C being the earliest common form in English? Brendandh 03:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - especially since the first homophone mentiolmention that the name's origin and meaning are debated, without listing a single argument for one meaning or the other? If it IS debated, then there should be at least two meanings or origins listed. As soon as I searched the name, I found 'pure' to be the most common definiton, but also found 'one of the two' and 'my blessing of your name'. It needs SOMETHING. 74.134.26.191 16:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

—I took out all etymological info because it's in 'Katherine (given name)' and doesn't need to be repeated here.67.168.59.171 (talk) 06:09, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Catherine

Katherine is a trivial spelling variant of Catherine. The information in the two articles applies to both names, including things like nicknames and foreign equivalents. The spelling with C appears to be consistently more common in English [1], so that should be the name of the merged article. --Macrakis (talk) 21:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow in the process of this merge, the talk pages for this page and the one relating to the TV series have become confused? There is a redirect somewhere that is pointing from one to the other? edit/I think I have found and deleted it now. MapReader (talk) 09:21, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Catharine

Why are Catherine and Katherine merged, but not Catharine (given name) (the first sentence of which says that Catharine is a variant of Catherine). 204.40.130.131 (talk) 14:47, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Katherine → Catherine – I got WP:ASTONISHED by the title of this page. "Catherine" is the more common form in English, so the article should be located there per WP:COMMONNAME. 053pvr (talk) 11:18, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, both names are fine and applicable, each with many variants (Kathy, Cathy, etc.). "Katherine", the present name, has been the name of the page since the article creation in 2007. Katherine is a very common name. There is nothing broken here. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:34, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
