I was very curious about her first name, Katiah. Never heard it before. Turns out it's derived from the Hebrew word "K'tziya", one of the spices included in the incense burned in the Temple in Jerusalem.

The English name for this plant family is Cassia, of the cinnamon family.

An unusual name for an unusually amazing lady.
