| Notes: |
English and Irish, Anglicized form of Caitlín [q.v.].
A correspondent [RB] has noted an ancestor's sister, baptised Catherine in Grange, Banffshire, Scotland, who was known to the family as Kathleen. Another correspondent [AB] has reported a similar example occurring in the mid 18th century. Both names are Anglicized forms of Caitlin and are therefore classed here as lesser synonyms as there is no other connection between the names. However because of the above examples we have also classed the two names as synonyms. |
