History & Origin
Caitlynne is one of the ornate spellings that bloomed around Caitlin, itself the Irish version of Katherine. Through Katherine the name reaches back to a Greek root and the old association with 'pure'. The -lynne ending simply gives the familiar name a fuller look.
Caitlynne stayed a minor variant in United States records. It emerged in the late nineteen-eighties, reached a quiet high of a couple dozen girls a year around 2002, and faded as the whole Caitlin cluster cooled. A girl named Caitlynne then is in her twenties now.
