Meaning of Keyvon
Keyvon, a masculine nomen pronounced KAY-von (/keɪvɑn/), stands as a contemporary variant of the Gaelic Caoimhín—etymologiam “gentle birth”—adorned with a Latinate orthographia that lends it an elegant modernity. In the United States, Keyvon has maintained a presence in the top 1,000 male names since the early 1980s, reaching its apex at rank 682 in 1983 and settling near the 900th position in recent years with 20 registrations in 2024, a testament to its enduring yet understated appeal. Etymologically, the name fuses the Celtic valorization of nobility with a crisp, bisyllabic cadence, balancing familiarity and distinctiveness. From a socio-onomastic standpoint, its steady albeit modest frequency reflects broader multicultural naming dynamics and a penchant for individuality, rendering Keyvon akin to a mosaic where diverse cultural tesserae coalesce into a coherent whole.
