Cayetana is Latin, Spanish in Origin.
Cayetana is the Spanish feminine form of Cayetano, from Latin Caietanus, a Roman cognomen and ethnic adjective formed with the suffix -anus. The base is Caieta, the ancient Latin name of Gaeta, a coastal town in Latium on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its literal sense is therefore a woman from Caieta or Gaeta, rather than an abstract virtue or nature word.
Spanish use was reinforced by San Cayetano, the sixteenth-century Italian reformer known in Latin as Caietanus and in Italian as Gaetano. The feminine Cayetana is especially associated with Spanish aristocratic naming, notably María del Pilar Teresa Cayetana de Silva, 13th Duchess of Alba, and Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, 18th Duchess of Alba. Cognate forms include Italian Gaetana, Portuguese Caetana, and French Gaétane or Gaëtane; Cajetana reflects another Iberian spelling. In the United States it remains uncommon, appearing mainly in Hispanic naming contexts.
