/KAH · yoos/
Meaning
“Possibly joy or gladness”
Cajus is a German spelling variant of the ancient Roman praenomen Gaius (also written Caius or Gajus). Its origin is disputed: it is often linked to Latin gaudium, meaning 'joy', giving readings such as 'the joyful one' or 'the contented one', though some scholars argue the name may instead be of unknown Etruscan origin.
