History & Origin
Kilie is a modern American respelling in the Kylie and Kiley family. Kylie rose to fame through Australia, sometimes connected to an Aboriginal word for a 'boomerang,' while Kiley derives from an Irish surname. Kylie surged for girls from the late 1980s, and a scatter of spellings followed; Kilie is one of them. It appears in United States records from the late 1980s, and as an uncommon respelling we note it at modest confidence.
It was never common in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, so a Kilie from that high would be a young adult now. It reads as an of-its-era spelling rather than a name apart, and the standard Kylie remains the usual form.
