Calleigh

Calleigh is an anglicized spelling variant of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic name Caoilfhinn or the English name Callie, itself a diminutive of names such as Caroline or Callista, ultimately rooted in the Greek kalos, meaning beautiful or good. The spelling reflects a modern tendency to render familiar sounds in decorative or distinctive written forms, and it gained wider recognition in part through the American television character Calleigh Duquesne. Related forms include Callie, Cali, and Kaylee.
