History and Origin
Gaetano (anglicized Cajetan) is an Italian masculine given name. It is derived from the Latin Caietanus, meaning "from Caieta" (the modern Gaeta). The given name has been in use in Italy since medieval period, although it also remained in use as a byname indicating people from Gaeta, as in Thomas Cajetan or Gaetanus (1469–1534).
Saint Gaetano dei Conti di Tiene (1480– 1547), canonized in 1671, gave rise to the modern given name. The French form of the name is Gaëtan, Gaétan; other variants of the name exist in Roman Catholic areas (Portuguese Caetano, Spanish Cayetano, etc.) A feminine form has also been in use, Gaetana.
Italian: from Latin Caietānus, originally an ethnic name for someone from Caieta (now Gaeta) in Latium. According to Roman legend, the town was named in honour of Aeneas' faithful nurse Caieta, who accompanied him from Troy to Italy and died at that spot. St Gaetano (c.1480–1547) was a religious reformer who lived in Naples; he is not to be confused with his contemporary Cardinal Gaetano, an active opponent of Martin Luther.
Cognates: French: Gaétan. Spanish: Cayetano. Portuguese: Caetano. German: Kayetan. Polish: Kajetan. English: Cajetan (rarely, if ever, used as a given name, but sometimes adopted as a clerical name by members of Roman Catholic religious orders).
