Caine Origin and Meaning

The name Caine is a boy's name.

Caine is a masculine name with multiple origins and meanings. In Welsh traditions, it derives from 'cain' meaning 'beautiful' or 'fair,' while some associate it with the biblical figure Cain. The name has gained modest popularity as a contemporary alternative to similar-sounding names like Kane or Kaine. Its single-syllable strength gives it a bold, memorable quality that appeals to parents seeking a masculine name with impact. Caine has literary and pop culture connections, appearing in works ranging from classic literature to modern films. The spelling with the '-e' ending distinguishes it slightly from the biblical Cain, potentially softening controversial associations while maintaining the name's strong sound and visual appeal.
