Popularity and variations
English
In Britain and the U.S., ''Catherine'' and its variants have been among the 100 most popular names since 1880. The most common variants are ''Katherine,'' ''Kathryn,'' and ''Katharine''.

Less-common variants in English include ''Katheryn'', ''Katharyn'', ''Kathryne'', ''Katheryne'', ''Katherin'', ''Kathrine'', ''Catharine (given name), Catharine'' and ''Cathryn''.
