Caelin Origin and Meaning

The name Caelin is a girl's name.

Caelin is a feminine name with Celtic and Gaelic origins, though it's used for both genders in some regions. The name derives from elements meaning 'slender' and 'fair' or 'pure,' creating associations with beauty and grace. Some interpretations connect it to the Old Irish 'caol' (slender) combined with a diminutive suffix. Caelin shares linguistic roots with names like Caelan, Kaelin, and Kaylin, which feature various spelling variations. The name gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century as part of the trend toward Celtic-inspired names. Its melodic quality and ancient heritage appeal to parents seeking a name with historical depth yet a contemporary sound.
