Re: Jewish feminine name CATO
in reply to a message by Andy
I knew a woman, Afrikaans speaking (and therefore ethnic Dutch!), who was always known as Cato - pronounced kaTOOe, more or less. Not like Cato the philosopher. And to my knowledge that was a form of Catherine. She was not only not Jewish, she was the daughter of an extremely Calvinist South African politician ... a long time ago.
