[Facts] Why can't I find the spelling of my name anywhere?
Last I heard my name meant "pure" & it is of Irish origin but that was for "Katie". I can never find any name books with the spelling of my name.
Please help! What does my name really represent?

Born Too Late, AlasKaty,Your name used to be a common sight in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, plastered on diesel locomotives along the routes of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (M-K-T), known as "The Katy Line".Unfortunately, the Katy sold out to Union Pacific back in '88 and the name is no more. Sorry ya missed it.

Pssst...! "Katy" is merely an alternate spelling of "Katie", which is a diminutive of "Katherine", "Catherine", "Kathleen", "Cathleen", etc. A different spelling doesn't change the meaning of the name -- it merely changes the way the name looks on the birth certificate, and sometimes even the way people look at the name-bearer.-- Nanaea
