About Kesteven

Originally spelt Ceoftefne, this English surname and place name is formed from a Celtic element meaning "wood" and a Norse word meaning "meeting place". It was originally a place name in Lincolnshire, England, and is now used as a generic name for traditional divisions of that county.

Could make a unique option to honor an ancestral Steven or even a Chris, since Kester is a Scottish variant of the latter.

Pronounced KES-te-ven.
