Kit Origin and Meaning
Kit is a crisp, old-time nickname with plenty of spirit and style. In the UK it's a rising star for boys, while in the US, it is trending upwards for girls too. Originally used as a diminutive of Katherine and Christopher, Kit could make a cool alternative to Katie, or an unexpected honor name for the aforementioned classics.
Coinciding with the name for a young fox, Kit feels at home with the likes Wren and Quinn — and with fast risers like Scottie, Robin, and Drew. In 2023, around 130 girls received the name compared to 180 boys.
The year prior, however, the scales were tilted the other way, with 160 girls and 140 boys receiving the name. With its unisex potential then, and its sharp, clear sounds, Kit may well see more use across the board in coming years.

Love the idea of Kit for a girl but still want a full name that isn't Katherine or Christina? You could try Kallista, Kensington, Keturah, Kismet, Kinneret, or Katalina.
