Cajetan

Rejoice at finding the perfect baby name! Cajetan is a worldly boy's name with multiple possible origins. Derived from the Italian given name Gaeatano, this original choice actually comes from the Latin Caietanus, which means “from Caieta, Latium.” This historically referred to someone from a place in present-day Gaeta, Italy, and can be a lovely, vintage choice to celebrate baby’s Italian roots. The roots of Cajetan can also be traced back to Saint Gaetano dei Conti di Tiene—also known as Saint Cajetan— who co-founded the Teatines, an order of clerics. With such interesting etymology, your child will feel proud of carrying this meaningful name that connects them to many different cultures.
