In France the word for Romani gypsy is gitano/gaetano, and gypsies are feared and despised here, so I really can't imagine this name being actually given to living breathing French kids.
Well, Gaétan is in the French charts, and I know of French men called it. And the word in French for gypsy in "gitan". Another spelling for this name is Gaëtan. [noted -ed]
