What does the name Katelyn mean?
Katelyn is a variant of Caitlin, the Irish form of Catherine. Wikipedia says the Irish Caitlín was long written as Cathleen or Kathleen in English, and only took the Katelyn sound and spelling once English speakers began reading it as it looked. Behind the Name traces the name back through the medieval French Cateline to the Greek Aikaterine.
Katelyn nicknames and other forms
Katelyn has more spellings than nicknames. Behind the Name lists Katelynn, Katelin, Katlyn and Kaitlin, plus the rarer Caetlin. Whichever spelling she has, it deserves to be on the cover correctly.
Some famous Katelyns
Gymnast Katelyn Ohashi was the 2011 US junior national champion and won the 2013 American Cup, then became a six-time All-American at UCLA. Her dance-filled floor routine at the 2019 Collegiate Challenge scored a perfect 10 and trended worldwide. Katelyn Tarver played Jo Taylor on Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush and co-wrote “Crazy Stupid Love”, which went to number one in the UK for Cheryl in 2014.
Katelyn through the decades
Katelyn arrived in the 1980s and stayed for two decades. US Social Security data has it at 191st in the 1980s, 62nd in the 1990s and 59th in the 2000s, with nearly 48,000 American girls named Katelyn in that decade alone, before slipping to 192nd in the 2010s. Behind the Name says it also reached the top 100 in New South Wales, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland.
Did you know?
Katelyn has cousins all over the world. Behind the Name lists the Flemish Katelijne, the Estonian Kätlin, the Hawaiian Kakalina and the Māori Kataraina, all members of the same Catherine family, so a Katelyn can find her name in almost any language.
