Caitlon Origin and Meaning

The name Caitlon is a girl's name.

Caitlon is a feminine name that appears to be a spelling variation of the more common Caitlin or Kaitlyn. These names derive from the Irish name Caitlín, which is a form of Katherine, ultimately coming from the Greek name Aikaterine of uncertain etymology. The distinctive spelling of Caitlon creates a unique visual identity while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. This variation emerged during the late 20th century trend of parents seeking alternative spellings for popular names to give their children distinctive identities. While much less common than Caitlin, Kaitlyn, or other similar variants, Caitlon offers parents a way to honor Irish heritage while providing their daughter with an uncommon spelling of a recognizable name.
