Kathleen (given name)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kathleen is a given name, used in English and Irish-

language communities. Sometimes spelled Cathleen, it is an

Anglicized form of Caitlín, the Irish form of Cateline, which

was the Old French form of Catherine.[1][2] It ultimately

derives from the Greek name Aikaterine, the meaning of

which is highly debated (see Katherine).
