Irish -language communities. Sometimes spelled
Cathleen , it is an Anglicized form of Caitlín , the Irish form of Cateline , which was the
Old French form of Catherine .
[1]
[2] It ultimately derives from the
Greek name Aikaterine , the meaning of which is highly debated (see
Katherine ). Kathleen was the 8th most popular girls' name in Ireland in 1911,
