Kelley is a English name. The given name 'Kelley' is an anglicized form of the Irish surname Ó Ceallaigh, meaning "descendant of Ceallach," where Ceallach is an Old Irish personal name likely derived from *ceall* ("church" or "monastery") or *cath* ("battle"), thus often interpreted as "bright-headed" or "warrior." It is primarily used in Irish and English-speaking cultures, with no specific religious association, though it gained popularity in the United States as a unisex given name in the 20th century.
