I love this name and I’ve seen it spelled many ways…any info on what is “correct” or where he different spellings come from? Thanks!

[name_f]Catarina[/name_f]/[name_f]Caterina[/name_f] are two of MANY variations of the name [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. Neither is “correct,” just one of various forms. For me, there’s an ever so slight pronunciation difference to the two spellings you’ve listed. The first would be cat-uh-[name_f]REE[/name_f]-nuh and the second would be cat-er-EE-nuh, the differene being in the sound of the second syllable.

Thank you so much! Very helpful! 
You’re quite welcome! I have been looking into this all day today, actually, so you had great timing! lol But I was looking more at [name_f]Katrina[/name_f]/[name_f]Catriona[/name_f] than [name_f]Catarina[/name_f]. haha
