Katheryn of Berain (Welsh: Catrin o Ferain) (1535 - 1591), sometimes called Mam Cymru ("mother of Wales"), was a Welsh noblewoman noted for her four marriages and her extensive network of descendants and relations.
Katheryn Howard, the 5th wife of Henry VIII of England, actually spelled her name this way. I actually spell her name this way instead of spelling it as Katherine.
I like this spelling. I've seen it in old English baptismal registers dating to Elizabethan and Jacobean times, so it's hardly a new gimmick. Seeing it in those old registers also confirms my own preference for Katherine with a K rather than a C.
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson is Katy Perry’s actual name.

There is a Greek singer, quite popular in the 1990's and early 2000's, Keti Garbi. I have the middle name Katheryn, but like others, it is usually misspelled. No matter, I love my name and acknowledge the other common spellings.
I love my name, Katheryn, (its spelling with the "e") and its meaning. Many people will invariably spell it without; so each time someone has to write it on a form, I make it a point to enunciate the beginning "K" (to avoid the automatic starting with "C") - and the "e". However, if I had a dime for each time it's misspelled when I ask the person to spell it back to me, and it was written incorrectly anyway, I would be a wealthy young lady! Guess I have one of those names everyone assumes they already know how to spell, since everyone has a Catherine/Katherine in their lives. Though, I get many positive comments on this spelling.
A famous bearer of this name, although she is commonly called "Catherine" or "Katherine" was Kathryn Howard, the fifth wife of King Henry VIII and Queen of England.
