We have Catherine in French which would be the exact translation for Katherine.
For Kate we can say Cat ( pronounce like the English word CAT ). I have a friend we call like that. But there is no Cat name in French. It is only use between friends.
Only Catherine exists

I know a girl whose name is spelled the same way as yours : Katherine and she's a French speaker. But it's true that people tend to write her name with a C so it becomes Catherine but she hates it when people don't spell her namer correctly. But "Kate" is not used in French

The spelling would be the same, with either a K or a C. The pronunciation is KAT-rreen with slightly more stress on the first syllable.
I have heard the 'pet name' Katie being used but never Kate as such.

It is "Catherine" as used by French actress Catherine Deneuve. Your name is beautiful in ANY language!

the French equivalent is Catherine (pronounced catrin)
as a nickname or shortname, we use Cat (like a cat in English) or Cathy (pronounced caty)

I think it's Catalina. of Katalina... I think it's more the way they pronounce not the spelling. Your name is Greek. You are pure. Sweet huh. enjoy your day.
Katherine
The origin of this name is from a Greek meaning ‘pure’.

My teacher in highschool said it was Collette. Not sure if she is correct or not.
