Kyle
[kaɪl]Meaning
from a Scottish surname, from Gaelic caol, meaning "narrows, channel, strait"
Background Story
Kyle comes from a Scottish surname derived from various place names, which themselves come from the Gaelic caol, meaning "narrows, channel, strait". The same Gaelic word is the source of the name in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and Wiktionary traces it back through Middle Irish and Old Irish to Proto-Celtic. As a given name it was rare in the first half of the 20th century, then rose steadily in popularity throughout the English-speaking world, entering the top 50 in most places by the 1990s, and has since declined in all regions.
