Klye is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin, pronounced as 'kile'. It is derived from the Greek name Kyle, which was initially used as a Scottish surname meaning 'narrow land' or 'strait'. The use of Klye, however, is quite uncommon compared to its counterpart. In English-speaking countries, it's often seen as an alternative spelling of Kyle, but with its own distinct identity.
The name Kyle experienced a surge in popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a significant peak of 30 births in 1986. However, it seems that this popularity did not sustain beyond the mid-1990s, as the number of births per year began to decline consistently thereafter, reaching single digits by the late 1990s and remaining relatively low until 2012.
