Anna Katharina Bornhaus

Notes:

Katharina is a German form of Katherine. Katherine is a feminine name that originated from Greek and which is popular in historically Christian countries, owing to its having been the name of one of the first Christian saints, Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Katherine is first recorded in England in 1196 having been brought back from the Crusades. The name has been in the 100 most popular names in the US since 1880, the highest position being 25th most common name in 1991, and as of 2008, was at the rank of 45. The spelling Katharine (with a middle a) was more common in the past and is currently more popular in the United States than in Britain. The form Catherine, corresponding with the French version, is also common in English. Less common variants in English include Katheryn, Kathryn, Katharyn, Katherin, Catharine, and Cathryn. The form Karen, of Danish origin, is now often considered an English name in its own right. Diminutives include Katie, Katy, Kate, Kathy, Kath, Kay, Kat, Katya, Katyusha, Kitty, Kit, Kasia and others.
