Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Katalin je maďarská podoba mena Katarína, ktoré pochádza z gréckeho mena Aikaterinē (Αἰκατερίνη), pravdepodobne prostredníctvom latinského tvaru Catharina. Pôvodný význam gréckeho mena nie je spoľahlivo objasnený; tradičné spájanie s gréckym slovom katharós (καθαρός) vo význame „čistý“ je neskoršia ľudová etymológia.
