Cathy Hughes Westport
What's in a Name?
My name is Cathy Hughes, and I'm from Westport. I've been asked many times what my name means, and I always give the same answer: "I don't know."
The truth is, I've never really thought about it. I've always just accepted my name as a given, like the color of my hair or the shape of my nose. But lately, I've been starting to wonder. What does my name say about me?
I decided to do a little research, and I was surprised by what I found. My name, Cathy, is actually short for Catherine. Catherine is a Greek name meaning "pure." Hughes is an Irish surname meaning "son of Hugh." So, my full name, Cathy Hughes, means "pure son of Hugh."
I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm not particularly pure, and I'm not a son. But I do like the idea of being associated with purity and nobility.
I also found out that my name is very popular. In fact, it's the 10th most popular name for women in the United States. That means there are a lot of other Cathy Hugheses out there.
I've never met another Cathy Hughes, but I'd like to. I think it would be fun to compare notes and see if we have anything in common. Maybe we're all pure and noble, or maybe we're all just regular people with ordinary lives.
I don't know what my name means to other people, but I'm starting to think that it means something to me. It's my identity. It's who I am.
I'm Cathy Hughes, from Westport. And I'm proud of my name.
