Kaileen is a modern American elaboration of the Irish name Kathleen or Kay, ultimately derived from the Greek name Aikaterine. It shares the same etymological root as Catherine, which is widely associated with the concept of purity. The name gained some traction in the late 20th century as part of the trend for 'een' ending names.
