The name Kele is a boy's name meaning "sparrow hawk; the sound, call, equal, cart".

Kele is both a  Native American name, used by the Hopi people to mean "sparrow hawk", and a name of Hawaiian origin. In the latter case, it sometimes appears as part of a name, usually in a Hawaiian variation of an English name, such as Anakele from Andrew or Kelemi from Jeremy. It could therefore mean "call", "sound", or "equal", reflecting that it is a Hawaiian name that sounds or is equal to another.

Other sources suggest it is a contracted form of Kabakele meaning "cart" or the Hawaiian equivalent  of Jerry. It is borne by a character in the Disney film, <em>Moana 2</em>.
