Kitty

Kitty is a girl's name used in English that began as a nickname for Katherine, Kathleen, and other similar names back in the day. It was a particularly popular choice throughout the 1900s but has waned since. Characters from all genres bore this lively title, from Pride and Prejudice to That 70’s Show, and the name is now freed up and ready for your little star. While Kitty began as a nickname, it quickly came to gather its own name status and has been known to spread some fun-loving joy with its "pure" intentions. Kitty is believed to mean “pure,” “clear,” and “clean” from the Greek katharos, or “each of the two” from the Greek Hekaterine, though the precise root and meaning are debated to this day. Aligning with the trend of classic names making their grand return, Kitty fits right in with the likes of Esther, Vera, Frida, and Peggy.
