Is Kylie an Irish name and if so how is it spelt in Gaelic?

For the benefit of those here who are trying to bluff their way about Irish Gaelic:





(1) Neither Kelly nor Kyle are original Irish Christian names, and owe more to the invention of Americans. Kelly has an Irish origin - as a surname.


(2) Kyleigh could not be the Irish for anything because there is no K or Y in the Irish Gaelic alphabet.





The nearest Irish word to the Kylie sound is "Cailleach" and that can mean an old hag, a witch or a prostitute. You think that's a good name to use referring to Irish sources?

Kylie is Australian. It comes from the aboriginal word for boomarang..


Kyleigh would be the Irish spelling of it, meaning narrow land.
Reply:It will come back to me in a minute!!!!





Means "boomerang" in an Australian Aboriginal language.





It could also be a variation of KELLY or KYLE
Reply:the gaildhig equivalent is: Caileag, which means: girl
Reply:NO, it's an Australian Aboriginal word meaning boomerang.
