Reply:The name has nothing to do with drinking. It is just a name - no deeper meaning - it might be a short form for Katrinka, which really is a Russian name.
Reply:I'm not sure completely, but trinken is to drink, so perhaps it means 'the drinker'?





EDIT: Like I said, I wasn't sure, just throwing my two cents in there. :P
