Kaley

Kaley is an English name functioning primarily as a variant spelling of Caley or Kaylee, which itself derives from a combination of the Old Norse name Kálla, meaning to call or summon, and the Old English suffix -leah, meaning woodland clearing, though it is also commonly treated as a phonetic respelling of the Irish Gaelic name Céilidh, associated with a traditional social gathering involving music and dance. The name rose in popular use in English-speaking countries during the late twentieth century alongside other -lee and -ley ending names for girls. Related forms include Kaylee, Kayleigh, Caylee, and Caley.
