Though it sounds like Katie, the feminine name Caity borrows its spelling from Irish titles like Cait and Caitlin. All of these monikers find their roots in Katherine, a Greek name with several potential translations. It could come from katharos, a Greek element meaning "pure" or "clean." Other sources link Katherine to definitions like "each of the two" and "my consecration of your name," with Caity sharing these interpretations. In the years ahead, when your little one faces a choice or decision, you can encourage them to select the one that feels right to them.
