Origin & history of Kylie
Noongar (Aboriginal Australian) kylie (boomerang)
→ Australian given name Kylie
1
Australian / Irish roots
Kylie comes from the Noongar Aboriginal word for boomerang, used by the Indigenous peoples of southwestern Australia. The name was adopted as a given name in Australia and gained international visibility when Kylie Minogue launched her pop career in the late 1980s with Locomotion and I Should Be So Lucky. In America, Kylie Jenner has made the name synonymous with beauty entrepreneurship and social media influence. The two Kylies actually had a legal dispute over trademark rights to the name in the US, highlighting how completely both women have claimed the name in their respective spheres.
