Kaitlin is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Caitlín, which itself is derived from the Old French name Catherine. Catherine comes from the Greek name Aikaterine, possibly meaning 'pure' or associated with the goddess Hecate. The name became popular in Ireland and other English-speaking countries in the late 20th century, often seen as a fresh, youthful alternative to the more traditional Catherine.
