Keith

Keith is a boy's and girl's baby name of Scottish Gaelic origin, from a Scottish place name and clan name whose root is debated — possibly from the Brittonic coet, meaning "wood" or "forest." It became a given name in the 20th century, particularly popular in English-speaking countries.

Keith hit the U.S. top 25 in the 1960s and 1970s. Keith Moon of The Who, Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, and country star Keith Urban give the name a definitive rock-and-roll swagger that few names can match. Two letters, one syllable, and an unmistakable sonic edge.
