Kathlin
Kathlin Origin and Meaning
Kathlin is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Kathleen or Caitlin. These names share Celtic origins, derived from the Irish name Caitlín, which itself comes from Catherine (ultimately from the Greek name Aikaterine, of debated etymology). This particular spelling variation gives the name a slightly different visual character while maintaining similar pronunciation to more common forms. Kathlin combines traditional roots with a less conventional spelling, potentially appealing to parents who appreciate the classic name's history but desire something slightly distinctive. Though never widely popular, this spelling variant has appeared occasionally throughout the 20th century, particularly in regions with strong Irish or Scottish influence.
