Kaylene

US Popularity Rank: 4734

Origin: Modern

Meaning: Clean, pure, clear; Each of the two

Kaylene is a bright and cheerful name for girls, so lyrical on the ear that it’s crystal-clear why it has captured the hearts of many. A modern take on an ancient classic, Kaylene stems from Katherine of the Greek Aikaterine. Its precise meaning still puzzles etymologists, with theories pointing towards Hekate’s definition of “each of the two.” A more popular interpretation comes from the root katharos, which means “clean,” “pure,” and “clear.” Some may prefer for Kaylene to be a simple yet effective blend of the elements kay and lene, leaving room for their little one to create their own meaning. Whether nodding to your favorite Greek goddess or honoring your little one’s fresh start in life, Kaylene’s light and friendly chime can accompany baby in all their adventures.
