The name Caitlin is a variation of Katherine or Catherine.

The name originated in Ireland as Caitlín [ˈkatʲlʲiËnʲ] and is the Gaelic variation of the Old French name Cateline [katlin], which was derived from Catherine, which was derived from the Ancient Greek ΑἰκατεÏίνη (Aikaterine). Catherine is attributed to St. Catherine of Alexandria and the Greek goddess Hecate.

So, yes, Caitlin is a saint name as there are a number of saints named Catherine or Katherine.
