The name was popularized globally by Australian singer Kylie Minogue (born 1968) — whose 1988 cover of "The Loco-Motion" topped charts in 17 countries and whose 50+ #1 singles across multiple countries make her the highest-selling Australian artist of all time. Kylie Jenner (born 1997) — American businesswoman and media personality; founder of Kylie Cosmetics (2015) and Kylie Skin (2019); declared the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes in 2019 (though Forbes later revised that designation). A top-100 US baby name from 2003 to 2018. Kylie Bunbury* (Big Sky*), Kylie Padilla (Filipino actress).
Subject of countless 1990s pop and 2010s beauty-industry retrospectives.
