What is the meaning of the name Caileenah ?

Caileenah is Gaelic, Irish in Origin.

Caileenah is a modern elaboration within the Irish-to-English name family that includes Caitlín (Irish form of Catherine), Caitlin, Kayleen, and Caileen. The added -ah ending reflects contemporary Anglophone styling rather than Gaelic morphology, yielding a lyrical form typically pronounced KAY-lee-nuh (sometimes KYE-lee-nuh). Through Caitlín/Catherine it carries the long-established meaning "pure." Some also link it to Irish cailín, a common noun meaning "girl," which influenced names like Colleen, though Caileenah itself is not traditional in Irish records.

Usage is very rare and chiefly late 20th and early 21st century in the United States, Canada, and Australia, favored by parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar sound.
