1703 Baby Girl Names That Start With K (With Meanings and Popularity)

Along with Khloe and Kendall, top K names for girls on the US Top 300 include Kennedy, Kinsley, Kayla, Kylie, Kamila, Kali, and Kate. Kate is the top-ranked K name for girls in Ireland and The Netherlands, while Katharina takes that honor in Germany.

Katherine and Kimberly have long ranked among the top K names for girls in many English-speaking countries. But today, the most popular feminine K names on Nameberry are newer choices such as Kaia and all forms of Kiera.
