Meanings
proper noun
- A diminutive of the female given names Caitlin and Caitlyn.
If I were to go with what my parents would have called me had I been born a natal female it would have been Katy. I neither look, nor feel, like a Katy, and some infinitely more famous member of the Kardashian dynasty [i.e., Caitlyn Jenner] has claimed Cait.
