Kaylie

Kaylie is a modern English feminine name that arose as a spelling variant of Kayleigh, itself an anglicized form of the Irish name Caolíodhe or a respelling influenced by the Scottish Gaelic word cèilidh, referring to a traditional social gathering with music and dancing. The root element is generally connected to the Old Irish caol, meaning slender. Kaylie gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the late twentieth century alongside similar rhyming names ending in the -lee or -lie sound. Related forms include Kaylee, Kayleigh, Kaley, and Kailey.
