Caillín Name meanings & History

Little warrior or slender. Meaning uncertain. According to one source, the name means "little cowl" in Irish, in which case it should ultimately be derived from the Irish noun caille meaning "veil".With that example in mind, it might also be possible that the name is instead derived from the similar-looking Irish noun caill meaning "forest, woodland".A notable bearer of this name was the Irish saint Caillín of Fenagh (late 6th century AD). Caillín is primarily used as a male name in Ireland and other parts of the Gaelic-speaking world.
