Kilo
Meaning of Kilo
Kilo (pronounced KEE-loh, /ˈkiːloʊ/) springs from the Greek khilioi, meaning “thousand,” and channels the crisp clarity of the NATO phonetic alphabet. Parents are charmed by its concise syllables—short enough that kids won’t trip over it, yet bold enough to spark curiosity on the playground. Though still rare (just six newborns received this name in 2024, placing it near rank 918 in the U.S.), its understated strength and global edge make it feel both intimate and adventurous. Like a promise measured in thousands, Kilo suggests big dreams, precise steps, and the confidence to conquer any challenge.
