Slender or small
As a feminine name, Kili is often considered a modern variation or diminutive of names like Keely or Kilian. In Irish contexts, it derives from 'caol', meaning slender. It gained some visibility through modern fantasy literature, though it remains extremely rare for girls in the United States.
