Kelcy is of Scottish origin and means "from the narrow valley". It's pronounced as /KEEL-see/. This name has been used more frequently since the late 20th century, gaining popularity likely due to its unique sound yet familiar spelling. Kelcy is often considered a unisex name but is statistically more common for females in many countries including the United States and Australia. It's sometimes spelled as Kelcey or Kelsey, which could contribute to its popularity as it shares similarities with these more established names. However, Kelcy maintains its distinct identity with only a handful of individuals bearing this name each year worldwide.
