Kyle is a surname of Scottish origin. It is derived from a placename, likely from Gaelic ''caol'' "narrow, strait"〔Harrison's ''Surnames of the United Kingdom'' says major variants Keil, Kile Kyle and Kylster, originated from the Celtic word ''coal'', "narrow", and defines ''Kyle'' as "Dweller at the Narrow or Strait". Even today many Scottish straits retain that name, such as the Kyle of Lochalsh, Kyle of Sutherland.〕 but there are other possible derivations. 〔Robert Chalmers of Ayrshire in his ''History of Scotland'' claimed the word ''kyle'' means "a woody region". Another possible connection is that in Gaelic ''cill'' means "church" or "churchyard" One source claims that ''kylle'' in old Scotland meant candle (Workmans Manuscript).〕 The name of the Kyle District itself is traditionally attributed to the legendary king Coel Hen (there are actually no narrows or straights in Ayrshire's Kyle District; c.f. Coylton). On the geographical origin of those bearing the surname Kyle, by 1881 it occurred most densely in the county of Berwickshire, followed by Dumfries.〔Great Britain Family Names website maintained by University College London.().〕 People with the surname include: * Alexandra Kyle * Andy Kyle, Canadian baseball player * Beatrice Kyle * Benjaman Kyle, American man with retrograde anemia * Chris Kyle (1974–2013), United States Navy SEAL * Dan Kyle Louisiana politician * David Kyle, science fiction writer * Doug Kyle, Canadian long-distance runner * Duncan Kyle * Iris Kyle, American 10-time overall Ms. Olympia professional bodybuilder * Jack Kyle (1926–2014), Irish rugby player * James H.
