Meria: literal translation of Colleen: Coll means girl, een meaning little, therefore Colleen means little girl. I would suggest that Kaitlin is short for Kathleen, meaning little Kate. Two lovely names: A short Gaelic sentence: 'Caw bfuill too ag dull, mo Colleen beag deas'. (Spelling for pronunciation only) = 'Where are you going, my beautiful little girl' or when you are good 'Mait an Colleen' = Good little girl....... Slan leat..........
