Gaytane is Armenian, Georgian, Italian in Origin.

Gaytane is a modern diacritic-free French spelling of Gaëtane, the feminine form of Gaëtan. The line traces back to Italian Gaetano and Latin Caietanus, meaning “person from Gaeta,” a coastal city in Lazio. Thus the name carries the sense of “of Gaeta” and, by extension, heritage and place. In French, the trema in Gaëtane marks the separate pronunciation of the vowels; the Gaytane form reflects modern orthographic simplification, especially in digital contexts.

In Catholic Europe the name spread via the veneration of Saint Gaetano (Cajetan of Thiene, 1480–1547), which influenced usage in France and francophone Canada, where Gaëtane peaked mid-20th century; Gaytane remains rare and contemporary. Variants and related forms include Gaëtane/Gaétane/Gaetane (French), Gaetana and Tana (Italian), Cayetana (Spanish), and the masculine Gaëtan, Gaetano, and Cayetano. Surnames such as Gaitan/Gaytan share the same root.
