Caitir (female)

Variants:Clarissa (F)
Derivative of:Caitrìona (F)
   
Source(s): The Oxford Names Companion, OUP
Notes:

Scottish; occasionally Anglicized as Clarissa.

Caitir is believed to have been derived from CaitrĂ­ona by the mistaken separation of the name into two parts: Caitir + Fhiona, the second part of which means "of wine".
