Kylie /ˈkaɪliː/[1] is a common female personal name, and is the feminine form of Kyle. The name received much popularity from the success of Australian vocal artist Kylie Minogue.
In the Western Australian Aboriginal language Noongar, the settlers took the word Kiley/Kylie/Koilee to mean curved, returning stick or 'boomerang'.[2] "Kyly", "Kiley" and "Kylee" are variant spellings. [3]
