1. Meaning of the name "Kylie"

Kylie is a Noongar word for “boomerang”. Wait…what? We’ll explain. First of all, the Noongar are an ancient indigenous Aboriginal people still living in the southwestern corner of Australia (around Perth).

Actually, the word “boomerang” came from another (now extinct) Aboriginal language from southeastern Australia. The word was first attested to in 1798 as a “wo-mur-rāng” by David Collins (the first British Lieutenant Governor of Tasmania).

It described a throwing object which, once sent into the air, would eventually return to its thrower. Kylies are larger weapon-like sticks that can be thrown far distances and greatly impair its intended target at the hands of a skillful thrower.

Aboriginal people have been throwing both boomerangs and kylies for ten thousand years – a custom that continues today – and is therefore largely considered an iconic object in Australia.

Kylies are actually more difficult to make and harder to throw than a regular returning boomerang, but when done correctly, they can be launched up to 1/8th of a mile! Today, however, the name is most popular in the United States and Canada.
