With its C spelling, Cayley is softer than its more popular counterpart, Kayley. It's never ranked in the US Top 1000 and at this point probably never will, now that the -aylee, -ayley, and -aylie names are starting to dip.
As of October 2026, Cayley ranked #12169 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1994 in 1998.
Editor's take: The name Cayley is a girl's name of English, American origin meaning "laurel, crown".
