Related to Caitlin?
I have seen the surname Catlin, pronounced KAT-lin, a couple times and I think it might be related to the Irish female first name Caitlin, am I on the right track?

Yup, so in a sense it's distantly related to Caitlin, since they both come from a form of Catherine, but Catlin is an English surname derived from Catherine and Caitlin is a Irish forename that is another version of it.
