Meaning & origin
Kylie entered the U.S. baby name scene in 1960 and saw its greatest popularity in the early 2000s, peaking at rank 204 in 2003. By 2025, it had fallen from that peak, though it still maintains a solid presence with about 1 in 1,078 births. The name is particularly well-liked in West Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Its origins are debated: some point to an Australian Aboriginal word for 'boomerang,' while others see it as a modern invented name built from the Scottish Kyle plus the familiar -ie ending. Regardless of its etymology, Kylie has become a distinctive and widely recognized choice.
Kylie is generally regarded as a modern feminine name, likely a variant of Kyle (a Scottish surname and given name meaning 'narrow strait') combined with the popular -ie suffix. The name also gained recognition through its perceived Aboriginal Australian origin, though this connection is not firmly established. It rose to prominence in the late 20th century, particularly after the debut of Australian singer Kylie Minogue in the 1980s.
