Kaylise is a unique, modern given name of American origin. It has gained popularity in recent years, likely due to its blend of familiar and novel elements. The name Kaylise consists of two parts: 'Kay', which is derived from the Old Norse female name Kaja, meaning 'pure' or 'rejoice', and 'Lise', a short form of Elizabeth that means 'God is my oath'. Therefore, Kaylise could be interpreted to mean 'Pure Promise'. It's often associated with other names like Kayla and Kelsey, yet it stands out due to its distinctive pronunciation. The name carries five syllables: Kay-lie-see, providing a rhythmical flow. Kaylise does not have any specific historical or mythological associations, allowing those who bear this name to create their own identity and story.
