Kelli, a gender-neutral name, is derived from the Irish Ceallach. A variant of the peppy Kelly, this variant means "bright-headed," “war,” “strife,” and “church.” With this name, baby Kelli can feel inspired to embrace the world around them and live life to the fullest. The -i ending adds a touch of fun to things, so baby can feel okay with steering clear of the war-like part of their name.
