Kaitlin Given Name Meaning & History
GENDER: Feminine; USAGE: English (Modern); PRONOUNCED: KAYT-lin. A variant of CAITLIN. Origin Irish: Pure, innocent. Its origin is “Modern English variant of the Gaelic/Celtic name Caitlin”. Kaitlin is a form of Caitlin and is generally pronounced like “KAYT lin”. Kaitlin is borne from the many Americanized spelling variations of Caitlin, which is the Irish equivalent of Catherine and generally pronounced “cotch-leen” in the mother tongue (but most other English speakers pronounce it KATE-lin). The name was brought to the British Isles in the Middle Ages by way of the Norman French name Cateline. The Catherine family of names all derives from the Greek name Aikaterine which translates to “pure one, clear, innocent.” The name Catherine was borne by an early saint who was martyred in Egypt and came to be associated with ideals of courage and purity, qualities that were attractive to the Celts.
This name derives from the Ancient Greek name Aikaterine, which in turn derives from katharos, meaning “clean, clear, pure”. In turn, the name means “pure, clear of dirt, clean of shame or guilt, purified”. It is linked to Hekate, an ancient goddess most often shown holding two torches or a key and in later periods depicted in triple form. She is variously associated with crossroads, entrance-ways, fire, light, the moon, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, necromancy and sorcery. All names linked to this root are popular in historically Christian countries. As Catherine, it was the name of one of the first Christian Saints, Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian saint, and the virgin who was martyred in the early 4th century at the hands of the pagan emperor Maxentius.
