An uncommon Swedish pick — distinctive and rare.
a diminutive of the female given name Karin
Kajsa is a girl's baby name of Swedish origin, a traditional Swedish diminutive of Karin — itself the Scandinavian form of Katherine, from the Greek meaning 'pure.' Kajsa is deeply embedded in Swedish folk culture, appearing in children's songs and nursery rhymes.
The name has a light, playful feel that is quintessentially Scandinavian — brief and bright as a Nordic summer day, with centuries of Swedish folk tradition behind it.
Kajsa was #7605 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #10626, but its charm endures.
