Hi. My name is Katurah. I believe the origin is hebrew. It is spelled Keturah in Genisis 25:1. Keturah was Abraham's second wife after Sarah ( a concubine) and the name means perfumed. My parents chose it for the sound of it, not for its meaning. It is a very old name and is used instead of Katherine at times.

Well, there's always Keturah - the A spelling would be easily explained as a variation or even a mistake. Hebrew for incense. Lots of Irish names are taken, or were historically taken, from the bible so that would make sense.
