Kajetan, a Polish and German form of the Latin name Caietanus, means “from Caieta” – the ancient Roman town now known as Gaeta in Italy. The most famous bearer is Saint Cajetan (1480–1547), a Catholic reformer who co-founded the Theatine order and is the patron saint of the unemployed, gamblers, and job seekers. Though the name has deep Italian roots, it gained popularity across Central Europe, and the town of Gaeta itself bears the same etymological origin. A notable variant is the Italian Gaetano, while in Scotland Kajetan remains a rare but distinctive choice, occasionally chosen by families with Polish or German heritage.
