History & Origin

Kaitlynne sits at the ornamental end of the huge Kaitlyn family. Kaitlyn is a modern American form of the Irish Caitlín, the Irish rendering of Catherine, whose Greek root is traditionally read as 'pure.' The extra letters of this spelling — the i, the y, the doubled -nne — reflect the late-century drive to make a wildly popular name distinctive.

The spelling crested around 2000, at the very height of the Kaitlyn boom, then receded with the whole family as the sound cooled. It reads as a turn-of-the-millennium styling, and a Kaitlynne today carries the classic 'pure' meaning of Catherine in one of that era's most individual dresses.

Did you know? Kaitlyn spawned dozens of spellings — Katelyn, Caitlynn, Kaitlynne — as parents raced to individualize the decade's hottest sound.
