What Does the Name Caffie Mean?
Caffie is a given name used in English-speaking countries. It is an Anglicized form of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic surname Mac Cathbhadh (also Mac Cathbhaidh), a patronymic meaning "son of Cathbhadh." The personal name Cathbhadh is made from the Old Irish element cath, "battle," and a second element meaning "victory," so the literal sense is "battle victory" or "victorious in battle." The surname appears in English as Caffey, Caffee, McCaffey, McCaffie, and Caffie. The given name Caffie corresponds to the Anglicized surname form; the -ie spelling is common in English familiar and feminine names.
Caffie Name History & Origins
The Gaelic personal name Cathbhadh was used in medieval Ireland and Scotland. From it came the patronymic Mac Cathbhadh, "son of Cathbhadh," which was carried into English in several spellings. In Ireland the shortened forms Caffey and Caffee appear; in Scotland the fuller MacCaffie and McCaffie are found. The form Caffie belongs to this same spelling family, with the -ie ending that English often uses in familiar names. As a given name, Caffie is a later use of the Anglicized surname rather than a direct continuation of the Gaelic personal name. Its history as a first name is therefore shorter than its history as a Gaelic patronymic and surname.
