Katlynn
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Katlynn: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1997.
A modern twist on an ancient classic, Katlynn is a respelling of Caitlin, the Irish Gaelic form of Catherine, which itself comes from the Greek *katharos*, meaning “pure.” The name gained popularity across English-speaking countries in the late 20th century, and in Scotland it sits alongside more traditional spellings like Caitlin and Kaitlyn. While no single famous bearer named Katlynn dominates the history books, the original Catherine has been borne by saints and queens, including Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a fourth-century martyr. The place name St. Catharines in Ontario, Canada, honours her, though it’s not directly linked to this spelling. Katlynn offers a fresh, distinctly modern feel while staying rooted in a timeless meaning of purity and grace.
