Origin: Irish

Meaning: Slender; Who is like God

Kayli is a girl’s name of Irish origin. It derives from the Irish word caoil, meaning slender, and may be an Anglicized version of the Irish name Caoilfhionn, often shortened to Keely. Kayli may also be a variant of the Hebrew name Michaela, which means “who is like God.” With its modern English spelling, Kayli is quite far removed from its Irish or Hebrew origins. However, if you’re looking for a cool, upbeat name for baby, it could be the perfect choice.
