Cajsa

Cajsa is a Swedish pet form of Katarina, itself the Scandinavian form of the Greek name Aikaterine, whose meaning is debated but commonly associated with the Greek word katharos, meaning pure. The name became widely used in Sweden during the early modern period and carries a distinctly folksy, traditional character in Swedish culture. It is closely related to Karin, Kajsa, and Kaja, all of which developed as familiar forms of the same root name across the Nordic countries.
