Kahill is Arabic in Origin.

Kahill is a modern given name in English whose strongest source is the Arabic Khalil (Khalīl), usually rendered Khalil or Kahlil, meaning “close friend, intimate companion.” The spelling gained indirect visibility through the 20th-century fame of Lebanese-American writer Kahlil Gibran, after which multiple phonetic variants circulated in the West. Less commonly, Kahill is treated as a creative twist on the Irish surname Cahill, from Ó Cathail; Cathal combines cath “battle” and fal/val “rule,” yielding the sense “battle ruler.”

Variants and related forms include Khalil, Kahlil, Khaleel and, on the Irish side, Cahill, Cahal, and Cathal. Usage of Kahill itself is very rare compared with Khalil/Kahlil, but it aligns with current trends for two-syllable, -l-ending names. Depending on the etymology you favor, the name can carry the meanings “friend, companion” or “battle ruler.”
