Caflina is in Origin.

Caflina is a rare modern feminine given name with uncertain etymology. It appears to be a contemporary elaboration, either built from the surname Caflin/Claflin with the feminine ending -a or -ina, or created as a blend that pairs a C- onset with the -lina diminutive found in Latin and Germanic naming. Through that -lina element it sits near Carolina, Catalina, and Alina, though it is not directly related to them.

Usage is sparse, turning up sporadically from the late 20th century onward, typically as a unique choice rather than a traditional form, and with no known saintly or literary namesake. Spelling variants and near-forms include Cafflina, Kaflina, Caflína, and Caflena; short forms Lina and Cafi are natural. The name carries no fixed meaning, but parents sometimes associate it with Lina’s senses - “tender, soft” in Arabic or “flax” in several Slavic languages - or with the Gaelic battle-root cath by resemblance.
