Cattelena

Cattelena is a given name, typically feminine, though its usage is uncommon. It is generally considered a variant or derivative of the name Catalina, which is the Spanish form of Katherine or Catherine. The name Catalina itself is derived from the Greek name Aikaterine, of uncertain etymology, but traditionally associated with the Greek word "katharos," meaning "pure." Therefore, Cattelena can be interpreted as sharing this association with purity and clarity.

While not widely recognized as a standard name, Cattelena might emerge from a desire for a unique or slightly modified version of the more common Catalina. It's possible the name arose organically through regional pronunciation variations or simply as a creative invention. Its occurrence is infrequent enough that it lacks established cultural associations or historical figures bearing the name, unlike its root name Catalina. The usage of Cattelena may be geographically localized, but without substantial data, this is speculative.
