Meaning:
Cyhha's clearing; Slender
Keighley is an unusual feminine name in that its strict origins are difficult to define. Rooted mainly in the British market town of the same name, Keighley means "Cyhha's clearing."—though the exact meaning of the Old English Cyhha remains unknown. Alternatively, Keighley may find solid roots in the Angelized name Caley, from the Irish caoladh, meaning "slender."
