Kayne

Meaning of Kayne

Kayne—pronounced KAYN—sweeps onto the scene like a leather-jacketed breeze, carrying centuries of story in a single crisp syllable. At heart he’s a modern spin on the old Irish surname Ó Catháin (“little battler”), though his spelling playfully nods to the biblical Cain and even brushes the pop-culture spotlight of rapper Kanye, giving parents three rich reference points for the price of one. The name’s been quietly revving in the U.S. charts since the bell-bottom days of 1970, never too common to lose its edge, yet familiar enough to feel instantly at home on a playground roll call. Kayne sounds sharp as a hawk’s cry, feels sturdy as a baseball bat, and promises a dash of rebel charm—perfect for a boy who’s destined to write his own headline.
