Narrow, strait, or wood
Cylie is a modern phonetic spelling variant of the Scottish name Kylie. It is derived from the Gaelic word 'caol', referring to a narrow channel of water or a strait. In some contexts, it is also associated with the Australian Aboriginal word for 'boomerang', though its use in the US is primarily as a creative respelling of the popular 1990s favorite.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Cylie in 2025.
