Catrin is from the Welsh Catrin — Welsh rendition of Catherine — from the Greek Aikaterine (pure). A modern American baby name in the broader Welsh heritage aesthetic. Catrin is one of the foundational Welsh feminine names — central to traditional Welsh-language heritage.

Married Sir Edmund Mortimer; her death in the Tower of London became one of the foundational tragic episodes of medieval Welsh history. Also widely known: Catrin Finch — Welsh harpist (former Royal Harpist to the Prince of Wales 2000-2004); Catrin Glyndŵr sculpture at the Tower of London. Foundational Welsh-language feminine name.
