keeva

Keeva is a feminine given name used primarily in English-speaking countries. It is generally considered an Anglicized form of the Irish Gaelic name Caoimhe, which is commonly interpreted as meaning gentleness or beauty. The Gaelic Caoimhe is pronounced Kee-va in Irish, and the spelling Keeva is one of several modern renderings used outside Ireland, reflecting broader adoption of Gaelic-origin names.

The name has seen usage in recent decades as Gaelic-derived names gained popularity in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora in the United Kingdom and North America. Variants include Caoimhe (the original Irish form), Keva, and Keavy. Keeva is typically given to girls and is usually chosen for its phonetic simplicity and cultural resonance.

Popularity and demographics: Keeva remains relatively uncommon compared with more traditional names, and its usage varies by region and year. In Ireland, Caoimhe remains the dominant form of the name, while Keeva and related spellings appear in newer birth name data in English-speaking countries with Irish heritage.

Notable people: There are no widely known public figures with Keeva as a given name, and the name is primarily encountered as a personal name rather than a surname.
