Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno pochádza z latinského prímena Caietanus, pôvodne označujúceho človeka pochádzajúceho z antického mesta Caieta, dnešnej Gaety v talianskom Laziu. Názov mesta sa podľa rímskej tradície spájal s Caietou, dojkou trójskeho hrdinu Aenea. V kresťanskom prostredí meno rozšíril najmä svätý Kajetán z Thiene, ktorý v 16. storočí spoluzaložil rehoľu teatínov.
