This was my paternal grandmother's name and we pronounced it "Ka-tin-ka" and for short "Tink" or "Tinka". I loved her name and wished I had a girl to give it to, but, I had a son - oh well... Tink was born in Budapest, Hungary early 1911. Her mother returned to the States with her Hungarian daughters in 1913 after a failed marriage.
