Kylee as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kylee

What is the meaning of the name Kylee ?

Kylee is in Origin.

Kylee is a modern American feminine given name, chiefly a respelling of Kylie and a diminutive-like elaboration of Kyle with the -ee ending. The root Kyle comes from Scottish Gaelic caol, meaning “narrow strait” or “slender,” a common place-name element in Scotland. Usage grew in the United States in the late twentieth century and peaked in the 1990s–2000s, buoyed by the broader fashion for -ee endings and by the visibility of Kylie as a pop-cultural touchstone; it also appears in Canada and New Zealand.

Variants and related spellings include Kylie, Kylee, Kyleigh, Kiley, Kyley, and Kilee. The Irish surname Kiley (from Ó Cadhla, “graceful”) sometimes informs alternative interpretations, and in Australia the name’s cousin Kylie is linked to the Noongar word kylie/kiley for “boomerang.” For Kylee, however, the most accepted meaning remains “narrow strait; slender,” via the Gaelic root.
