Meaning & origin
Tyleigh entered U.S. birth records in 2001, part of a wave of invented -leigh names that surged in the 2000s and 2010s. Its trajectory has been rising since 2001, reaching a peak in 2022 before slightly declining. In 2025, it was given to roughly 1 in 73,058 newborns, ranking 5,554th. The name remains relatively rare, reflecting its status as a modern blend. Like many names in this style, Tyleigh appeals to parents seeking a distinctive but phonetically familiar feminine name.
Tyleigh is a modern coinage, first appearing in U.S. birth records in 2001. It follows the pattern of creating feminine names by combining a consonant or syllable (often from names like Tyler or Kyle) with the suffix -leigh, which itself derives from the Old English lēah 'wood, clearing'. The name has no traditional etymology.
