AKateisaKate Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Katherine: From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine) Could mean "each of the two," "torture," "my consecration of your name," or "pure." I knew that my name meant pure from this thingy in my room I got when I was a baby (I like what it says, by the way-- pure, intuitive, perceptive), but I had no idea about the other associations. Not liking the torture one! My name is also Katherine, and I knew the thing about pure as well. And my last name means "shoulder" in Italian. But this site didn't come up with that, so I don't know. Maybe Mika's name still means Plastic Bag! Was there an interview he said this in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
