History & Origin

Kaliegh is a variant spelling of Kaylee or Kayleigh, modern names pairing Kay with Leigh, 'meadow.' As these names soared in the 1990s and 2000s, spellings multiplied, and Kaliegh is one of the rarer forms. It appears from about 1986, peaks near 2005, and stays uncommon, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its height.

A Kaliegh from the mid-2000s is a young adult now. The mainstream Kaylee and Kayleigh are the forms that carried; Kaliegh reads as a distinctive variant of that spelling-rich family, keeping the same 'meadow' sense.
