Kajsa is a feminine Scandinavian name, primarily used in Sweden and Finland. It originated as a Nordic diminutive form of Katarina (Catherine), which ultimately derives from the Greek name Aikaterine. The exact etymology remains debated, though possible meanings include 'pure' or an association with the goddess Hecate. Kajsa emerged in Scandinavia during the 18th century as a familiar, affectionate form that gradually gained status as an independent given name. The name combines a distinctly Nordic character with a soft, melodious sound. In Sweden, Kajsa enjoyed particular popularity during the mid-20th century and has maintained steady usage since. While not typically among the top names, it remains recognizable and appreciated for its charming simplicity and cultural authenticity. In Finland, the name appears both among Swedish-speaking populations and increasingly among Finnish speakers as well.
