Kathryn

I don’t understand how this name or Katherine can’t be unique. When I was looking at namedat.com it said 186,207 are named Kathryn, but on this website you make the data on humans named Kathryn so popular since 1880. You know it said on namedat.com there were more people given my name opposed to what information you provide on your website. Both your data and namedat.com’s website resource is so mixed up. I think there are more Casey’s than Kathryn’s because I strongly associate with that website saying how uncommon my name is. Yet, you say the exact opposite. I think this is a beautiful spelling of Katherine. I love this name.

In 2018, 58 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Kathryn who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 129th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

I've never seen anything corroborating this, but it is a Danish form of the name Katherine. My Danish great-grandmother was named Kathryn, and so is my mom and everyone in the family has always insisted that this is the Danish version of Katherine. In any case, I've always prefered the traditional Katherine spelling and am thankful that my mom didn't name me Leah Kathryn like she wanted too. My mom and I DO agree though, that the nicknames Kate and Katie are our least favorite names EVER - can't stand how cutesy/saccarin they sound, gives me a toothache just saying those names. Kathy, Kitty, Kit, Kat are nice nicknames though.
