History and Origin
The name Kay (/kay/) is found both as a surname (see Kay (surname)) and as a given name. In English-speaking countries, it is usually a female name, often a short form of Katherine or one of its variants; but, it is also used as a first name in its own right, and (more often in non-English speakers) as a boy's name (for example in India). The alternative spelling of Kaye is encountered as a surname, but also occasionally as a given name; for instance, actress Kaye Ballard.
English: 1 (f.) Pet form of any of the various female names beginning with the letter K- (cf. Dee and Jay), most notably Katherine and its variants.
2 (m.) Comparatively rare male name, which presumably originated in honour of the Arthurian knight so called, although Sir Kay is not a particularly attractive character. His name seems to be a Celticized form of Latin Gaius, an old Roman given name of uncertain derivation (cf. Cayo).
