Kylee

US Popularity Rank: 1477

Origin: Australian

Meaning: Slim or narrow channel; Boomerang; Graceful

Kylee is a girl's name that stems from the Indigenous Australian Noongar people. It means "boomerang" or a "narrow channel." Kylee can also be traced back to Ireland, where it means “graceful” and derives from the surname Kiely, from the Irish Ó Cadhla. The more prevalent spelling ends with an "ie," as in Kylie Minogue and Jenner, so the double "ee" in Kylee lends this name a fresh and unique take. Alternatives to Kylee both male and female include Kyle, Kayley, Kyla, and Kendall.
