Help[Facts] Re: I don't think so. Katriona/Catriona are Gaelic names.
in reply to a message by Haven
hmmmm... Well it certainly looks and sounds Russian to me. It reminds me a lot of the word matryoska, is that why? I know Katarina is, my great-grandmother was named that.

It is the bespoke 'io' in the middle of the name that marks "Catriona/Katriona" as a Gaelic derivative.
But the primary Gaelic forms are "Caitrìona" in Scottish and "Caitríona" in Irish. The first 'i' and the accent are integral.

Certainly is a gaelic name.... named after several generations of irish anscestors....
That is not saying that it is not a russian name too... but I would assume a russian version would be Katariana rather than the gaelic Caitriona/Katriona....
It is simply just the gaelic for Catherine... (although my Opa calles me KAYJA.... )

Though you mustn't mix Irish-Gaelic and Hiberno-English.
Katriona cannot be called Gaelic because of spelling rules: vowel agreement and no 'k.'
