Ceilidh Origin and Meaning

The name Ceilidh is a girl's name meaning "social gathering, dance party".

From a Scottish Gaelic word meaning "visit", a ceilidh today usually means a gathering with traditional Scottish or Irish music and dances. The spelling could be an issue, depending on where you live... but everyone called Cayley, Kailee and Kayleigh has to spell their name out too.
