Kaylee (and its various spellings) is a given name, most often for females. The name is a modern English combination of the name elements Kay and Lee.[1] It might have been popularized in the United Kingdom by the song Kayleigh by progressive rock band Marillion, which was a hit in 1985.

It was a popular name in the United States in the latter part of the 20th century and the early 21st century, reaching its height of popularity in 2009, when it ranked 26th among the most popular names for newborn girls. It has since declined in popularity, but remained among the top 200 names for American girls in 2023. Many variant spellings of the name are also among the most popular names for American girls.[2] [3]
