Catherine Zeta Jones is welsh. It is common to form nicknames ending in "o" in welsh usage. Kato is an example of this as is Eddo for Edward etc. Nothing to do with the Balkans.

I think she referred to Catherine Zeta Jones' *character*, Catherine the Great, being called Kato, not Zeta Jones herself.

Thank you Ivayla. That is what I meant to say. I should have been more clear on that. But Blodwen's input about Welsh naming practices was interesting nevertheless.
