About Cajetan

Cajetan is the English form of the Late Roman Caietanus meaning "from Caieta" — a small town in ancient Italy. The name is notably associated with the 16th century philosopher, theologian, and cardinal, Thomas Cajetan (also known as Gaetanus, Tommaso de Vio or Thomas de Vio), and with Saint Catejan, a 15th century saint, priest, and religious reformer.

Cajetan is an Anglicized form of the name, that appears as Gaetano in Italian (ga-eh-TA-no) and as Kajetan (pronounced ka-YEH-tan) in Poland, In fact, the latter has been in the Polish Top 100 since 2000, and ranked at #996 in the England and Wales charts in 2015 as well.

Cajetan, pronounced with the J sound, has never appeared in the charts in the UK or the US.

Pronounced kay-juh-TAN.
