Kayleena

US Popularity Rank: 23645

Origin: American

Meaning: Girl; Shapely

Kayleena is a modern girl’s name of American origin. It may derive from the Irish name Cailín or Colleen, simply meaning “girl,” or from the Irish name Clíodhna, meaning “shapely.” In Irish mythology, Clíodhna was the queen of the banshees, powerful fairy women who could foretell death. However, in other myths she is a goddess of love and beauty, and the patron of County Cork. Not a bad mythological namesake for baby! Alternatively, Kayleena may have been invented by simply combining popular sounds to create a new, unique and pretty name.
