Kaley is a feminine name of Irish and Greek origin. A variant of Kayleigh or Kaylee, it is a modern take on a popular Irish moniker, making for an ideal choice for baby's of Irish heritage. It is thought to ultimately stem from the Ancient Greek Aikaterī́nē, meaning "pure" or "clean," honoring how sweet your little bundle of joy is. It peaked in popularity in the '90s and has declined slightly since then. However, we have no doubt your little trendsetter will bring Kaley straight back to the charts!
