Meaning & Story
An informal variant of Keith, a Scottish Gaelic name of uncertain meaning, possibly from a place name meaning 'wood' or 'forest.'
Keef is a name with swagger — it has the casual confidence of a nickname that stuck and became the whole identity. It is short, punchy, and carries a distinctly laid-back cool that suits a dog who does things on his own terms. The name inevitably calls to mind a certain legendary rock guitarist, which adds to its effortless coolness. Pets named Keef tend to be independent, a little scruffy, and thoroughly likeable.
