Its a kreativ spelling of Cailin. Duh. The spelling of name doesn't change the meaning

"Irish" is definitely a language, a.k.a. Irish Gaelic. It's often called just "Irish" or "Gaelic". Although "Gaelic" could be either the Irish or Scottish language, and in writing you can't differentiate between the names. (When said aloud you can ... For Irish Gaelic you say GAY-lik, and for Scottish Gaelic you say GAH-lick.)

There are two variants - Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic.

True, but it merely lists Gaelic.

I think you're kind of right- the traditional language spoken in Ireland is Irish Gaelic.
