<p>Keely as a masculine name represents a less common gender assignment for what is primarily used as a feminine name in modern times. The name has Irish origins, derived from the Gaelic 'Caolaidhe' meaning 'slender' or 'narrow,' originally used for both genders. In Irish tradition, it may have connections to the legendary poet and musician Caoilte of the Fianna. While Keely gained modest popularity as a girl's name in the late 20th century, its masculine usage has remained quite rare. The name carries a melodic quality with its long 'e' sound and has cross-cultural appeal. For boys, Keely offers a distinctive option with authentic Celtic roots that balances traditional heritage with a gentle, modern sound.</p>
