This katakana spelling is shared by religion academic Catherine Wessinger (キャスリーン・ウェシンガー) and librarian Catherine Allen Latimer (キャスリーン・アレン・ラティマー).

Modern katakana was extended to write foreign words and names more faithfully. Catherine pronounced kæ-thoo-rIn in katakana is キャスリーン read kyasurīn. On the other hand, hiragana adheres to traditional Japanese spellings. Catherine in hiragana is きゃすりいん read kyasuriin.
