Kaci-Leigh

Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kaci-Leigh: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2007.

Kaci-Leigh is a modern Scottish compound name, blending the English spelling Kaci (an Americanised variant of the Gaelic *Cassa*, meaning “curly-haired” or “alert”) with the feminine suffix Leigh, derived from Old English *leah* (“woodland clearing”). While no famous bearers carry this exact combination, the phonetic cousin Kacey is famously shared by American country star Kacey Musgraves, and the variant Caci has Scottish roots in the ancient surname MacCachie. The Leigh element appears in numerous Scottish place names, such as the town of Leigh in Ayrshire, though no location directly shares the full name. This pairing reflects a distinctively 21st-century Scottish naming trend, where traditional Gaelic roots meet English pastoral suffixes to create a fresh, lyrical feel.
