[Facts] Re: Gaite
in reply to a message by lac
I don't know the meaning, but I thought I'd give some usage statistics since it might help everyone else.http://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/naam/is/GaiteIt appears to be exceptionally rare.

http://www.babybytes.nl/namen/meisjes/GaiteI think this site states it was first recorded in 2011? (which is possible even with the actress; since unique names will often go unrecorded if they are not given to enough people for privacy reasons).No idea what it means, maybe a feminisation of Gaius?

It seems to be a feminine form of Gait that is explained as a short form of Gerald (and other names starting in Ger-), see http://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/verklaring/naam/Gait
