Meaning and history
Kelleigh is a modern English feminine spelling variant of Kelly. Kelly began as an Anglicized Irish surname, usually from Ó Ceallaigh, “descendant of Ceallach.” The original personal name Ceallach has uncertain meaning, with proposals including “bright-headed” or “warrior,” but no interpretation is universally accepted. The ending -leigh is a modern stylistic alteration rather than a separate root. Reliable prominent bearers using the exact spelling Kelleigh are limited.
