Caitland is a feminine name that appears to be a modern blend name combining elements of Caitlin (a form of Katherine meaning 'pure') with the suffix '-land.' This creative combination gives the name a unique quality while maintaining connections to the more familiar Caitlin or Caitlyn. As a relatively recent naming innovation, Caitland doesn't have deep historical roots but instead represents the contemporary trend of creating distinctive names by combining familiar elements. The name has a pleasant rhythmic quality and an interesting balance between traditional and modern.
