|passage=Ruth did know, but KATE was not named after Hecate or Auntie
Catherine or Santa Caterina of Siena (suggested by a Catholic priest of
Ruth's acquaintance). She was simply KATE because Ruth liked the name.
It was attractive without being twee, strong without being hard. You could
hear it prefaced by Doctor or followed by MP. At the same time it was cute
enough for a baby.}}

** German
*** Etymology
From [de], from [de], from [de], [gem-pro], whence also [nl], [en], [en]. The
_a-_spelling reflects the merger of _ā_ and _ō_ in some dialects of modern Low
German; it was possibly standardised in order to avoid the similarity with
[de].
The word may be of non-Indo-European origin and is perhaps derived from [de];
compare [de] and [de]. On the other hand, compare [goh], whence [de], [nl],
[en].[1]
