Kayl — boys' name

What the Data Says About Kayl

The Social Security Administration has registered 211 babies named Kayl between 1987 and 2022, spanning 36 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Kayl currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2022. The name reached its historical peak in 2008, when 21 babies received it in a single year. Kayl is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 24 additional births since 2006.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kayl performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 101 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Kayl shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kayl 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 211 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
