Katie-Leigh
Girl name · 17 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Katie-Leigh: 17 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 7 births in 2009.
The name Katie-Leigh blends two popular Scottish names: Katie, a diminutive of Katherine, which comes from the Greek *katharos* meaning “pure,” and Leigh, an English surname from the Old English *leah* for “clearing” or “meadow.” Its best-known bearer is American voice actress Katie Leigh, famed for voicing characters in *The Smurfs* and *Darkwing Duck*. While no major place is directly named after a Katie-Leigh, Leigh itself appears in many Scottish locations like Leigh (as a village name) and shares roots with place names ending in “-ley.” This double-barrelled style reflects a modern Scottish trend of pairing classic names with nature-inspired second halves, making Katie-Leigh feel both traditional and fresh. It has appeared in Scottish birth records since the late 20th century, often chosen for its rhythmic, feminine charm.
