How do you say Katherine in Chinese?

Rather than phonetically transliterating Katherine, a culturally meaningful Chinese name chooses characters based on meaning, common usage, and your preferences (and optionally Five Elements references). The surname (Kǎi) is a natural phonetic complement, and the given name adds cultural depth.
