I have thought of this, too, but wasn't sure at all. It's the O that confuses me. A little bit helpless

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.
