Kayleen is a girl’s name with English, American, Hebrew, and Greek origins. It is thought to be related to the sweet moniker Kayla, which has the beautiful definition of “laurel” or “crown,” offering a sense of regality to your little one. Kayleen is thought to mean “beloved” or “sweetheart,” reminding baby of how much they are loved every time they hear their name called. Ending in -een, this particular spelling has some Gaelic influence and pays homage to a whole host of charming Irish words and modern slang, making for an ideal choice for babies of Irish heritage. If you’ve had the pleasure of visiting Ireland, you have heard people calling their other half “loveen,” which has somewhat of a similar sound to this stunning title. Other variations of this name include Kaylin, Kayleigh, and Kaylee.
