Kalee is a modern English feminine given name, most often a contemporary spelling of Kaylee. In this formation it blends Kay, commonly a short form of Katherine (interpreted as 'pure') or the Arthurian name Kay, with Lee, from Old English leah, 'wood, clearing, meadow.' The name has circulated in the United States and Canada since the 1980s, rising alongside Kaylee and its many spellings in the 1990s-2000s, while Kalee itself remains the rarer variant.

Variant and related forms include Kaylee, Kailee, Kailey, Kayleigh, Kaleigh, Kaley, Caylee, Cailey, Kalei, and Kalie. Some bearers also link Kalee to other traditions: as a respelling of Kali (Sanskrit), associated with the goddess and meanings 'dark/black; time, power'; or echoing Hawaiian Kalei, 'the lei; beloved.' Given these streams, Kalee can be read as 'Kay + Lee' (pure meadow/clearing) or, more broadly, as a modern, melodic choice with flexible heritage.
