Keelen Origin and Meaning

The name Keelen is a girl's name.

Keelen is an uncommon feminine name with uncertain origins. It may be a modern variant of the Irish surname Keelan (from Ó Caolláin), meaning 'slender' or 'thin.' Another possibility is that it derives from the masculine name Keelan or represents a feminine form of Keeley. The name has a contemporary sound with its combination of the popular 'Kee-' beginning and '-en' ending seen in names like Kaylen and Karen. Keelen remains relatively rare in usage, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive name with a melodic quality and subtle Celtic connections without being obviously traditional.
