It reached its highest popularity in 2012, and as of 2025 it ranked 13,208th, with approximately 1 in 267,878 newborn girls receiving the name. The name has been on a rising trajectory since 2021, suggesting a recent uptick in interest. Not associated with any specific U.S. state or region, Cyleigh belongs to a wave of 'creative' names formed by attaching the popular -leigh suffix to a first syllable, a pattern particularly strong in the 2010s.
Cyleigh is a modern invented name, likely formed by combining a phonetic variant of the root name Kyle (from Scottish Gaelic caol 'slender') with the popular -leigh suffix fashionable in late-20th-century American name coinage. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1999 and saw modest use in the following decades, peaking in 2012.
