Etymology of KAJETANO

The name "Kajetano" is derived from the Latin name "Caietanus", which was originally a surname. It is believed to have originated from the Latin word "Caieta", which was the ancient name for the modern Italian city of Gaeta. The name "Caieta" possibly comes from the Greek word "Kaìétēs", meaning "cave", referring to the numerous natural caves found in the area. Over time, "Caietanus" became anglicized to "Cajetan" or "Kajetano" in various languages. It is often used as a given name to honor St. Cajetan (also known as St. Gaetano), an Italian priest and theologian who founded the Order of Clerics Regular.
