About the name Catrina
Catrina belongs to the Spanish tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Catrina first appears in Social Security records in 1950. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #452 in 1973, and in 2024 10 babies received the name — 10,138 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
