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? MapReader (talk) 09:21, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
