Cathleen
Gaelic feminine name
Cathleen is an Irish form of the name Catherine, associated with purity or clarity.
It became iconic through the nationalist allegory Cathleen ni Houlihan, personifying Ireland as a woman calling men to sacrifice for her freedom.
The name remains distinctly Irish in flavor: Cathleen was named after her grandmother from County Kerry.
