Karin (given name)
Karin or Carin is a common feminine given name in various Germanic languages, and Estonia and Slovenia, and in some French-speaking areas, as well as Japanese. In most of its Western forms, Karin was originally a Swedish form of Katherine, but in English speaking countries is usually thought of as a superior spelling for Karen. The Japanese name Karin means Chinese quince, quince or Burmese rosewood and is unrelated to the Western forms.
In Thailand, it is written as กา ริน and read as 'karin'. However, in Thailand it is mainly used as a male name.People
