National Kelly Day is annually observed on August 26. The name has multiple origins and is derived from the surname Kelly. Clan Kelly in Scotland is the most well-known, and its name may have been derived from the toponym Kelloe. The Irish surname could be derived from Ceallaigh, Cadhla, or a distinct toponym. In the early 19th century, the surname became prominent in the United States. During this time period, only males were given the name Kelly, whereas today more girls are given the name Kelly.
Kelly is the Anglicised form of the ancient Irish surname Ceallaigh, which means “descendant of Ceallach.” Kelly also means “clear-headed” and “churchgoing” in Irish ceall. There are also a number of early Irish saints whose names resembled Kelly. Kelly is now the most prevalent surname in Ireland. In Irish, Kelly can also mean church, warrior, wood, holly, and a farm near a mountain spring. In Scandinavian, Kelly signifies clear mountain spring.
Kelly has historically been used for children of either gender. It originated as a Scots-Irish surname but evolved into a given name. Other names derived from Kelly include Alex, Alexander, Alvaro, Ansel, Callan, Casey, Duncan, Dustin, Lewis, Liam, Markus, Ned, Oscar, Roger, and Troy for boys, and Aesira, Aloisa, Alvara, Bellatrix, Louisa, Maia, Marcheline, and Zelda for girls. Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Rowland, Kelly Ripa, Kelly Osbourne, Kelly Preston, Kelly Oubre, Kelly Slater, and Kelly Kelly are notable Kellys in history and popular culture. Mindy Kaling also portrayed the beloved character Kelly Kapoor on ‘The Office’.
Today, Kelly is primarily a feminine name. The name was most prevalent in the United States in 1977, when its usage increased by 150% compared to the previous year. Since then, it has been on the decline, but it is now more prevalent than it was in the early 1900s, when it was primarily a boys’ name.
