Katnisss

Katnisss is not a widely recognized term in major reference works. It appears to be a misspelling or variant of Katniss, and there is no standard encyclopedia article dedicated to the form with three s.

Katniss Everdeen is a fictional character and the central figure of Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games trilogy. She is a teenager from District 12 who volunteers to participate in the annual Hunger Games to spare her sister Prim. Renowned for her endurance, resourcefulness, and accuracy with a bow, Katniss becomes a symbol of resistance against an oppressive regime. The narrative follows her experiences in the Games and the broader rebellion that unfolds in Catching Fire and Mockingjay. The character has been adapted into films and other media, making her one of the most recognizable figures in contemporary dystopian fiction.

Katniss is also the common name for several aquatic plants in the genus Sagittaria. These plants, often called arrowhead or duck potato, grow in wetlands and produce tubers that have historically served as a food source. The botanical sense of Katniss is distinct from the literary name, though the character’s name in the novels is widely believed to be inspired by the plant.

As a result, readers encountering "Katnisss" should consider the intended reference—whether the fictional character Katniss Everdeen or the plant-associated term—since there is no separate, widely recognized subject under the three-s version of the spelling.
