Comments (Meaning / History Only)
The name Kayleigh has been around for centuries in Western Europe (Scotland, Ireland, England, The Netherlands). It was NOT created by the band Marillion as stated by other users previously. My husband and I named our daughter Kayleigh because we are of Scottish ancestry and feel it is a beautiful name, both spoken and written. I do not understand why any of you feel the need to go on this site and make rude comments about this name (or any other name). Naming a child is a very personal experience and it is not for anyone else to judge.

The person who stated that the name Kayleigh has existed for centuries in Western Europe is incorrect. Kayleigh appeared on charts for those countries quite recently. There is no proof that it has been in use for longer than that.

Kayleigh (with the -eigh spelling) comes from the Old English and means "rejoice", and "beauty" (depending on the historical source material).
