Kayleen

Kayleen is a modern English name that has gained popularity in recent decades. It is derived from the Gaelic name Cailín, which means 'young girl'.

The name Cailín itself is a diminutive form of the Irish word 'cailleach,' meaning 'veiled one' or 'nun.' It was originally used as a term of endearment for a young girl or a daughter.

The spelling 'Kayleen' is an Anglicized variation of the Gaelic name, reflecting the modern trend of creating unique and aesthetically pleasing variations of traditional names.

Despite its Gaelic roots, Kayleen is now considered an English name and has become a popular choice for parents seeking a feminine and melodic name for their daughters.
