Meaning & Origin

A female given name transferred from the surname, variant of Kaylee or Kylie.

Kyleigh is a girl's and boy's baby name of Irish origin, a variant spelling of Kylie or Kaylee, from the Scottish Gaelic caol (narrow, strait) or the Aboriginal Australian word for boomerang. The -eigh spelling gives it a more formal, meadow-name appearance.

With nearly 20,000 U.S. births recorded, Kyleigh represents the decorative -eigh spelling trend that has given names like Ryleigh, Baleigh, and Hayleigh their distinctive written forms. It carries the same bright, friendly energy as Kylie and Kaylee in a slightly more elaborate package.
