Keano is a masculine name with multiple potential origins. It may be a modern variant of the Irish name Kean or Keane, meaning 'sharp' or 'intelligent.'

Keano has a contemporary, distinctive sound that appeals to parents seeking a name with strong, masculine qualities while remaining relatively uncommon. The name conveys qualities of strength, sharpness of mind, and athletic prowess, making it an appealing choice for boy's names with a modern edge.

Luki is a masculine name with multicultural origins and meanings. In Finnish contexts, it can be a diminutive form of Luukas (Lucas/Luke), while in some Slavic languages, it may serve as a nickname for Łukasz (the Polish form of Luke). The name also appears in Indonesian and some Pacific Island cultures with distinct origins. Derived ultimately from the Greek name Loukas, it carries the meaning 'from Lucania' (a region in southern Italy) or connects to the Latin 'lux' meaning 'light.' Luki has a friendly, approachable quality with its short form and ending 'i' that gives it a diminutive, affectionate feel. While uncommon in English-speaking countries, the name offers a friendly, international alternative to the more formal Lucas or Luke, with an appealing brevity and cheerful sound.
