Kyli is in Origin.
Kyli is a streamlined modern spelling of Kylie, a name with dual roots: in Western Australian Noongar languages, kylie means 'boomerang', and as a feminine form of Kyle from Scottish Gaelic caol, 'narrow, slender' (a reference to a strait). These strands converged in English usage during the 20th century.
The name gained traction in Australia, then worldwide following pop-culture figures Kylie Minogue (late 1980s) and Kylie Jenner (2010s). Kyli emerged as an eye-catching minimalist respelling in the U.S. and elsewhere; it remains uncommon but familiar thanks to its parent form. Variant spellings include Kylie, Kylee, Kyleigh, Kiley, Kilee, Kiely, and Kyly; related surnames Kiley/Kiely reflect Irish heritage, sometimes giving the name an Irish feel. The meaning thus spans 'boomerang' and 'slender', with modern associations of upbeat, contemporary style.
