de L'Ancienne Gaule du VI au XII Siecle. Centre National
de la Recherche Scientifique: Paris, 1972.
Volume 2 page 32 under Catherina dates the name to 1113,
Caterina to 1113 and Katherina to the 12th century.
De Felice, Emidio. dizionario dei nomi italiani.
Arnoldo Mondadori: Milan, 1986.
Page 102 under Caterina lists Catarina as a variant.
Withycombe page 186 under Katharine gives Katharina
and Katerina as Latin forms.
Katharina (the Latin) looks to be the closest that
could be used with a French name even French forms
favor the C over the K. Catarina could also be used
with a French name.
You could try an argument for the spelling Katarina
based on this information.
