Talk:Kathleen (given name)

Don't merge this!
Kathleen is the prettiest name in the world and deserves its own article as a given name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.218.127 (talk) 18:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Given Name
The name Cathleen CANNOT be derived from Catherine as it is attested significantly before the name Catherine could have arrived where it was used. It is of Brythomic or Gaelic origin and became associated with Catherine because of the similarity of the sound.

This is a very good reason for NOT merging. Freuchie (talk) 18:24, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
