The popularity of this name continues to rise and fall within the popularity stakes, but records indicate that in the US alone, at least 106,507 girls were named Caitlin in the past 131 years. This amounts to 813 Caitlins per year, or a minimum of two per day.

The Greek adjective katharos, from which the name Aikaterine is believed to be derived, means pure. Caitlin has since been associated with the meanings pure, chaste, blessed or holy; often applied as pure maiden.
