Caitlan is a feminine name with Gaelic and Celtic roots, representing a variation of Caitlin, which itself derives from the Irish name Caitlín, a form of Katherine. The ultimate origin traces back to the Greek name Aikaterine, though its exact meaning remains debated—possibly 'pure' or connected to the goddess Hecate. This particular spelling variation gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century when Irish and Celtic names experienced renewed interest. Caitlan offers a slightly modernized spelling while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. Though less common than variants like Caitlin, Kaitlyn, or Katelyn, Caitlan provides a distinctive option that balances familiar sounds with unique spelling, appealing to parents seeking a contemporary yet culturally rooted name.
