Keeva Origin and Meaning

The name Keeva is a boy's name.

Keeva is an uncommon masculine name with Irish Gaelic origins. While traditionally used as a feminine name (spelled Caoimhe in Irish, pronounced KEE-va), it has recently gained some usage for boys. The name derives from the Irish word 'caomh' meaning 'gentle,' 'beautiful,' or 'precious.' As a boy's name, Keeva offers a distinctive choice with its melodic sound and positive meaning. Though rare for males, it follows the trend of gender-neutral naming that embraces softer sounds for boys. The name carries an appealing combination of strength and gentleness, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking something unique with Celtic roots.
