The name Catherine holds deep meaning and significance for me. It was chosen in honor of St. Catherine of Siena, a role model for strong and independent women. The name, derived from the Greek word “katharos,” meaning pure or clear, reflects my mother’s pure intentions and unwavering faith. Despite initial struggles with the name, I eventually embraced it, finding unity and tradition in my middle name as well. Through the legacies of remarkable women who shared my name, I am inspired to stand up for my beliefs and create a positive impact.
