Some read Caflean as a novel respelling of Kathleen (Irish Caitlín, from Katherine), thereby borrowing the time-honored meaning “pure.” Others hear an echo of Gaelic Caoilfhionn (caol “slender” + fionn “fair”), yielding an interpretive sense of “slender and fair.” Variant spellings and near-forms include Cafleen, Cafflean, Caflin, and Caflien; related names are Kathleen, Caitlin, Colleen, Keelin, Kaylin, and Kayleen.
