History and Origin
Kelly is an English-language unisex given name, derived from the Irish surname Kelly.
It has predominantly been used as a feminine given name, with a significant minority usage as a masculine name; during the peak of the name's popularity in the United States during the 1960s to 1970s, feminine usage was about four to five times as frequent as masculine usage.
English: As a male name, an Anglicized form of Irish Gaelic Ceallagh. In Australia and elsewhere in the English-speaking world it is now more commonly used as a female given name. This use probably derives from the Irish surname (Gaelic Ó Ceallaigh ‘descendant of Ceallagh’); cf. the similar recent use of Casey and Cassidy as female given names.
