Kayleigh is a modern name which combines two other names:

Kay = A nickname from the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). It could derive from the earlier Greek name 'Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from 'εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name".

Lee = comes from a surname which was derived from Old English leah meaning "clearing".
