Keldon

Meaning of Keldon

Keldon, pronounced KEL-dən (/ˈkɛldən/), is a masculine name of modern English usage with roots traced to Old English ceald (“cold”) and tūn (“settlement”) or viewed as a variant of Kelton. It debuted on U.S. name charts in the late 1960s, peaking at rank 710 in 1987 before settling into the 800–900 range over subsequent decades. A resurgence around 2014 saw 28 newborns given the name, and today it ranks 916th with eight occurrences in 2024, reflecting a niche yet enduring presence. Its crisp consonant-vowel pattern and familiar “-don” ending resonate particularly with Latin American families seeking names that bridge Anglo and Romance linguistic traditions.
