## Etymology

* Catei originated from Hecate which is from the Greek *Ἑκάτη (Hekate)*, possibly derived from *ἑκάς (hekas)* meaning "far off". In Greek mythology Hecate was a goddess associated with witchcraft, crossroads, tombs, demons and the underworld.
	+ It was also influenced by the name Catherine which is a form of Katherine which is from the Greek name *Αἰκατερίνη (Aikaterine)*. The etymology is debated: it could derive from an earlier Greek name *Ἑκατερινη (Hekaterine)*, itself from *ἑκάτερος (hekateros)* meaning "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess Hecate; it could be related to Greek *αἰκία (aikia)* meaning "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". In the early Christian era, it became associated with Greek *καθαρός (katharos)* meaning "pure", and the Latin spelling was changed from *Katerina* to *Katharina* to reflect this.
* Vardi means "rose" in Hebrew and derived from Vered.
