Cait
Meaning of Cait
Cait is a charming and succinct name for girls, pronounced as "kayt" (/keɪt/). It is a modern variation of the classic names Kate and Cate, which themselves are diminutive forms of Katherine. The name Cait carries an air of simplicity and elegance, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a timeless yet contemporary name. Originating from Greek, Katherine means "pure," imbuing Cait with connotations of purity and innocence.
