Best Answer

A lantern can have anything written on it, so it's difficult to make a guess. Common words are family names (for floating down rivers during the Obon festival), "Love" ("ai"), "Dream" ("yume"), and "Light" ("hikari" or "akari"), etc.

Does Caitlin mean anything in Japanese?

If you are asking what the Hiragana means, then I would say it doesn't mean anything, except for 'Caitlin,' because names are the same in every language. The name 'Caitlin' is pronounced 'Keitorin.' Names in Japanese tend to be written in Hiragana, which is a form of Japanese writing, rather than Kanji, which is the form of writing that is most commonly known. The Hiragana for 'Caitlin' is 'ケイトリン' Hope that helps.
