Keyley is a beautiful name for baby to connect with their Irish roots. Typically given to girls, Keyley is an alternate spelling of Keeley, deriving from the Gaelic family name Ó Caollaidhe, which means “a descendant of Caollaidhe.” The surname traces back to the Irish word caol, translating to “thin, narrow,” which came from the Proto-Celtic term koilo- with the same meaning. Nowadays, Keyley and its variations signify “slender,” “thin,” “beautiful,” and “handsome.” The moniker is a modern and anglicized version of Caolán and Caoilfhionn with the addition of the letters ‘k’ and ‘y’, which are not in the Irish alphabet. Baby Keyley will surely be the fairest of them all with such a pretty name.
