Cailee Origin and Meaning

The name Cailee is a girl's name.

Cailee is a feminine name that represents a modern, creative spelling of Kaylee or Kayleigh. These names blend the popular Kay- prefix with the '-lee' suffix that became tremendously popular in late 20th century naming. The original Kayleigh has Irish and Gaelic roots, possibly meaning 'slim' or 'fair,' though the name as we know it today is largely a modern creation. Cailee emerged as parents sought unique spellings for popular sounds. This variant maintains the bright, cheerful sound of the original while offering a distinct visual appearance. The name peaked in popularity during the early 2000s and continues to be chosen by parents who appreciate its youthful, friendly quality and contemporary feel.
