Katye

Katye is a girl’s name with Estonian and Greek roots. This one-of-a-kind name is a variant of Katja, an Estonian spelling of Kate. Kate derives from the ancient Greek word katharos, which means “clean,” “clear,” and “pure.” The name is also linked to Hecate, the Greek goddess of magic and spells. Hecate is a master of all trades in Greek mythology, and statues of her were often placed at crossroads and doorways to ward off evil spirits. With such an interesting name origin, baby Katye might grow up to be quite the mythology buff.
