Caius

Caius is a name of Latin origin and the meaning of Caius is as 'person of the earth' or 'one who rejoices'. It is believed that the name Caius was anglicized to become 'Gaius', after becoming a popular name in the Etruscan language (an ancient civilisation in Eastern Italy). In Welsh, the name means “joy” but another theory states that the name is taken from the prehistoric word ‘ghel’ that loosely translates to ‘to shine’. Shakespeare used the name Caius is a number of his plays, such as his violent epic 'Coriolanus', where the protagonist Caius is a general who betrays Rome. At Cambridge University there is Caius College, which was named after its founder, John Caius, who was served as a physician to King Edward VI, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. It is a classic and traditional name that is not widely given. It was most popular in 2014, where it just made it into the Top 100 boys' names, peaking at a humble 963rd.
