Kylee

Kylee is a feminine given name widely used in English-speaking countries. It is commonly regarded as a modern variant of names such as Kaylee, Kylie, or Kyle, though it may also be formed simply by adding the -ee ending to Kyle.

Etymology and forms:

The root Kyle derives from a Scottish place name and from Gaelic caol meaning "narrow" or "strait." The -ee suffix is a productive diminutive/affix in English, producing a softer, more contemporary-sounding name. Variants include Kylee (spelled with two e’s), Kyleigh, Kaylee, Kayla, and Kylie.

Usage:

Kylee has been most prominent in the United States and Canada since the late 20th century, rising alongside other -ee/-ie spellings. It remains uncommon enough to be distinct but familiar to English speakers. The name is used for girls and, less commonly, as a unisex form in some contexts.

Notable people and fiction:

Several public figures and fictional characters named Kylee have appeared in sports, music, acting, and literature, reflecting the name’s cross-cultural appeal. The name is also found among various spellings in popular culture.
