Katie is a diminutive of Kate, Behind the Name explains, and Wikipedia describes it as an English feminine name that is a form of Katherine, Kate, Caitlin and Kathleen, frequently used on its own. Katherine itself goes back to the Greek Aikaterine, a name of debated origin that in the early Christian era became associated with the Greek word katharos, meaning “pure”. Behind the Name gives the pronunciation as KAY-tee, and the name’s family is huge, with forms in nearly every European language.
Other forms of Katie
Katie is itself a nickname, so the variety is in spelling. Behind the Name lists Katey, Katy, Kaety and Katee as variants. The long forms, Katherine, Kathleen and Caitlin, are always available for formal occasions.
