Kayley

Kayley is a modern English given name that arose as a respelled variant of Kayleigh, itself an anglicization of the Irish name Caolfhionn, composed of the Old Irish elements caol, meaning slender, and fionn, meaning white or fair. The name gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the late twentieth century, partly influenced by the 1982 Marillion song Kayleigh. Common variant spellings include Kayleigh, Kaylee, Kailee, and Kaley.
