Kaitlann
Kaitlann Origin and Meaning
Kaitlann is a feminine name representing a modern spelling variation of Caitlin, which itself is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Caitlín (pronounced 'Katleen'). The original Irish name is derived from the Greek 'Aikaterine' (Katherine), meaning 'pure.' This specific spelling with the double 'n' emerged during the late 20th century trend of creating distinctive variations of traditional names. While the more common spellings like Caitlin, Kaitlyn, and Katelyn saw significant popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, Kaitlann remains a rarer variant. The name maintains the pleasant sound of its more common counterparts while offering a unique spelling. For parents drawn to the sound of Caitlin but seeking something more distinctive, Kaitlann provides a recognizable yet uncommon alternative with the same friendly, approachable qualities.
