A very pretty name :) Probably my favorite of all the Katherine variants. It's pretty unique while still sounding "familiar" (And I like longer names).
Love it! I love Catherine as well but this one I think is less common and I love the spelling of it! It sounds exotic and very pretty at the same time. Some other names for it/nicknames are Kat, Cat, Kattie, Cattie, Katia, Katrina, Katya, Kitti, Kassie, Cassie.

Katerina Stikoudi is a Greek former model, singer and occasional television presenter who won the 2005 title "Miss Hellas" (Miss Ελλάς) at the Miss Star Hellas pageant and had the chance to represent Greece at the Miss World pageant.
My name is Katerina as well. It is rather annoying when a teacher calls my name on roll call and they call me Katrina. It is Kat-er-ee-na, not Ka-tree-na. Then my parents tease me and call me a hurricane and all. Otherwise, this is a great name with many nicknames. My friends call me KitKat, Kittycat, Kitty, Kittens, and even Kat. Not only that, but Katerina translates to pure, like Kathrynn. That is why I love my name.

My name, Katria, is also a variant of Katerina. I have heard the name used by Ukrainians and Russians, alike. The Ukrainian spelling of Katria is Катр'я; I assume the Russian spelling is not much different.
This is my name, and I don't know why but when people read it they often pronounce it like KA - TREE - NA. It gets very frustrating.

I love just about every form of Catherine. Yekaterina, Ekaterina, Catherina, Katrina, and every other one. Just not this one or Catalina.

My name. I pronounce it Kat-eh-REE-na, and it's an all right sort of name. It's got that foreignness factor down, and people are always calling me Katrina, which is annoying. I go by Katerina, Kateroula with family. I've tried to go by Kiki and Katie, but most people refuse to "bastardize" my "beautiful, exotic" name, so I've stopped trying. At least it works with my last name, which is long and multisyballic and even more foreign sounding than Katerina.
This is my friend's name and I think it is a lovely name. It's delicate yet exotic. I imagine a brunette girl with this name mainly from Eastern Europe which is its origin.

I love the name Katerina. It's different and unique and very pretty. The girl could go by Kate, Rina, Kathy, Katie but I think Katerina is beautiful by itself.
Love this name! It's exotic and mysterious and also cool nickname "Kat" I love it! It's so pretty and sounds unique and rare :) would use it for my daughter.
I love this name! It's so unique and sounds exotic. I think it sounds like a funloving girl and is modern and also can be classic for an older girl too.
This is my name, but I go by Katie. I never really liked it, but I suppose it's better than other names that were popular when I was born. I'm glad it's not really trendy and isn't as plain as Katherine-- it definitely gives it a more ethnic twist.
This is my name and people often say how much they like it. It is pronounced Kah-te-rina. Less common than other forms of any of the Kathryn/Catherine etc. variations. I am an Orthodox Christian and celebrate the Feast of Saint Katherine of Alexandria on the 25th of November. It is a good international name.
