Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Katie-Anne: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2006.

Katie-Anne is a modern compound name, blending the classic diminutive Katie—itself a pet form of Katherine, ultimately derived from the Greek *Aikaterinē*, with the often-debated meaning of “pure” from the related *katharos*—with the Hebrew name Anne, rooted in *Channah*, meaning “grace” or “favour.” Reflecting a popular Scottish naming tradition of hyphenated double names, Katie-Anne rose to use primarily in the late 20th century. Notable bearers include Katie-Anne McCallum, a Scottish actress known for her work in television, and Katie-Anne G., a Scottish singer-songwriter who gained attention on talent shows. There are no major place connections unique to the combined name, though both Katie and Anne have widespread geographical roots. The name offers a contemporary, lyrical feel by pairing two enduring favourites, making it a sweet, affectionate choice that feels both familiar and distinctive.
