'Caitlin' pronounced 'Kathleen'. is an Erse (Irish Gaelic) name meaning ' little Catherine' or 'pure'.

NB The phonetics (pronounciation) of the Irish Gaelic language are completely different from English , and modern European languages.

'C' is always pronounced hard, like 'K'.

'ai' in that order shortens the pronounciation of 'a'

't' is softened to a 'th' or 'sh' sound.

'i' on its own is pornounced like 'ee'.

The modern Anglo pronounciation of 'kate - lin' is completely wrong.
