About the name Kátia
Kátia belongs to the Portuguese 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, Kátia first appears in Social Security records in 1960. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #772 in 1996, and in 2024 108 babies received the name — 6,245 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
