kitty

kitty
{{11}}kitty (n.1) "young cat," 1719, variant of KITTEN (Cf. kitten), perhaps influenced by kitty "girl, young woman" (c.1500), originally a pet form of fem. proper name CATHERINE (Cf. Catherine). Kitty Hawk, N.C., apparently is a mangling of a native Algonquian name; it also has been written as Chicahauk.
{{12}}kitty (n.2) "pool of money in a card game," 1887, probably from KIT (Cf. kit) (n.1), in a sense of "collection of necessary supplies" (1833); but perhaps rather from northern England slang kitty "prison, jail, lock-up" (1825), of uncertain origin.
