Keven Origin and Meaning

The name Keven is a boy's name.

Keven is an alternative spelling of Kevin, a name of Irish Gaelic origin derived from "Caoimhín," meaning "handsome birth" or "gentle birth." The name was borne by a 7th-century Irish saint who was known as Kevin of Glendalough. This variant spelling maintains the same pronunciation while offering a slightly different visual appearance. Kevin experienced tremendous popularity in the United States and other English-speaking countries during the 1950s through the 1980s, while Keven has remained a less common alternative. The name carries associations with Irish heritage, gentleness, and attractiveness, as reflected in its original meaning. In contemporary usage, the Keven spelling provides a subtle distinction from the more common Kevin.
