Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Kylee

Kylee is a spelling variation of Kylie. There are two possible origins of the name Kylee. The first suggests that Kylee is a recent coinage, taken from the Celtic male name Kyle which comes from the Gaelic word “caol” meaning ‘slender’. The other possible origin of the name concerns itself with the indigenous Aboriginal people of Western Australia and a similar word in their native language for a boomerang. In any case, the name was popularized in Australia, but is now primarily used in the United States.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME KYLEE

Kylee follows the success of Kylie on the American popularity charts. Both names debuted on the Top 1000 list of most commonly used girls’ names in 1978, but Kylie came in at a stronger position (#407 vs. #889). Kylee has been basically mimicing the more popular Kylie on the charts for the past 30 years. Both names accelerated in usage during the 1980s but unlike Kylie, Kylee has never quite managed to secure as spot on the Top 100 list. It is, however, a Top 50 name in West Virginia and ranked #54 in Kentucky (these are the two states where the name Kylee is most popular, but it also does well in Mississippi and Tennessee). Kylee is a “cutesy” name with an element of tom-boy thanks to the ruggedly masculine country of Australia where the name originated. There is, however, a tinge of overuse given the four spelling variations in existence on the American charts right now: Kylie, Kylee, Kyleigh and Kiley. Not to mention the Kaylee, Kaitlin and Kaden names. Just something to consider.
