Caolánn

Caolánn is an Irish given name, typically male. It is a relatively modern name, not found extensively in historical records. Its meaning is debated, but it is generally believed to be derived from the elements caol, meaning "slender" or "narrow," and potentially a diminutive suffix. Some sources suggest it could also be related to the word for "channel" or "strait," given caol's association with narrow waterways.

The name is primarily found in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora. While not among the most common Irish names, it enjoys some popularity, particularly among parents seeking a name with a distinct Irish sound and meaning. The spelling can sometimes vary slightly.
