Meaning & Story
An alternate spelling of Kaley, a variant of the Gaelic name Caolinn or a modern form of Kaylee, possibly meaning 'slender' or 'pure.'
Kaleigh is the kind of name that feels sunny and upbeat from the very first syllable — it has a cheerful bounce that's hard to resist. Popular in the early 2000s as a human name, it migrated naturally into pet-naming territory carried by fond associations. Pets named Kaleigh are typically bright, active, and social — the sort who would rather be in the middle of the action than watching from the sidelines.
