Keleigh

Keleigh is a feminine name that has a variety of potential origins and meanings to inspire your bundle of joy. It makes for a fun respelling of Kelly, the Anglicized version of various Irish names. It can come from Cellach, meaning “strife,” “war,” or “contention,” Cadhla, meaning “beautiful” or “handsome,” as well as Ceallach, meaning “bright-headed” or “recluse.” Whether baby has a fighting spirit, bright mind, or introverted demeanor, Keleigh is sure to match their beauty, inside and out. Keleigh may also have links to the Welsh word celli, meaning “wood” or “grove,” and encouraging your little one’s love for nature. If you prefer Keleigh to be a spin on Kaylee, this moniker can also mean “pure” or “each of the two”—from the Greek Katherine—and “meadow”—from the Old English Lee. With all these meanings to fall back on, little Keleigh will make for a rich name choice.
