Insights
Today, Kailey is an uncommon name (popularity 64/100).
It is less common today than at its historical peak.
The name Kailey is derived from the Irish surname 'Ó Caollaidhe,' meaning 'descendant of Caollaidhe,' where 'Caollaidhe' itself comes from the Gaelic word 'caol,' meaning 'slender' or 'fair.' It gained popularity as a given name in the late 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries, and is often considered a modern variant of Kayley or Kaylee.
