Kylli is Finnish in Origin.

Kylli is a feminine given name found in Estonia and Finland. In Estonian contexts it corresponds to Külli, a familiar form of Küllike/Külliki built on the word küll, meaning “plenty, abundance” or “indeed,” so the name carries senses of generosity and sufficiency. In Finnish it functions chiefly as a hypocoristic of Kyllikki, a celebrated name from the national epic Kalevala (the bride of Lemminkäinen), sometimes associated by folk etymology with kyllä, “indeed/yes, enough.”

The name’s use in Finland rose in the 20th century alongside the popularity of Kyllikki, bolstered by cultural references such as Jean Sibelius’s piano cycle Kyllikki, Op. 41. In Estonia it has been common since the late 20th century, with the diacritic-free spelling Kylli appearing in international records. Variants and related forms include Külli, Küllike, Külliki (Estonian) and Kyllikki (Finnish); short forms often overlap across these.
