Can anyone help tell me what the word "katagiri" means?

[+StrikeR+]

And as a name what does it represents?

 

I tried googling it but i didn't had much luck. There was something's ng confusing about fox gloves and that's it.

With my limited knowledge of Japanese, I might not be giving an accurate answer. I typed katagiri and used a couple suggestions from IME to fill in the kanji in Jisho.

This is what I got. https://jisho.org/search/片桐 https://jisho.org/search/片切

Someone might be able to give a better answer, though.

It helps if you show us how it's written. The meaning is often altered according to the kanji chosen, and even then it doesn't always have a clear meaning.

Of course, its like this: 片桐

Unfortunately it doesn't really mean much to me, it's one side of a paulownia (tree) or something like that. The only thing I can say about this name is that it just happens to be the name of a heroine in Nukitashi as well.

Thank you, though.

The guy asks what the meaning of some person's last name is and that makes the language impractical? What does your last name mean? lol

If you really want to try to force a meaning on this name:
「片」 meaning "fragment" and 「桐」 referring to a foxglove tree.
The foxglove tree's leaves are heart-shaped. 
Thus, you could think of the name meaning "a fragment of (one's) heart".

This is just one possible interpretation and could be totally bullshit.
