Unisex Names That Start with K

The hard K sound gives a name a crisp, confident start, which may be part of why so many parents choose it for names shared between boys and girls. A large share of the names here were built from surnames or place names and reshaped with modern spellings, so the letter mixes old roots with very recent inventions.
Watch how often the same name appears in several forms. Kamryn and Kamdyn swap the familiar C for a K, Kasey, Kacey and Kayce are three takes on one sound, and Karsyn and Karsen show the Y versus E choice that runs through current naming. Kadyn and Kaidyn follow the same idea. None of these spellings is more correct than another, but the one you pick will shape how others read the name on paper, so write each version out before you decide.
Some names here carry clear heritage. Kingsley is an English surname taken from a place name meaning the king's meadow. Kiran comes from Sanskrit and means a ray of light, and it is used for both sexes in India. Khari and Kamari have strong roots in African American naming, and Kendal is also the name of a market town in Cumbria, in northern England. Kodi keeps things short, friendly and easy to spell.
