Caitie Origin and Meaning

The name Caitie is a girl's name.

Caitie is a feminine name that functions as a diminutive or nickname form of Caitlin, Catherine, or similar names. With Irish and English influences, this spelling variation emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought more distinctive ways to write familiar nicknames. The name Caitlin itself derives from the Irish form of Catherine, ultimately from Greek meaning 'pure.' Caitie conveys a youthful, friendly quality while maintaining connections to traditional naming roots. While sometimes used as a given name on birth certificates, Caitie more commonly serves as a familiar form used by family and friends. The spelling with 'ie' rather than 'y' gives it a slightly sweeter, more feminine appearance. Popularity peaked in the 1990s alongside other Cait- variants.
