What the Data Says About Kaelei

The Social Security Administration has registered 106 babies named Kaelei between 1995 and 2019, spanning 25 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Kaelei currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2019. The name reached its historical peak in 2005, when 16 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kaelei performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 85 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Kaelei shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kaelei in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 106 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
