Keevah Origin and Meaning

The name Keevah is a boy's name.

Keevah is an unusual masculine name that may have Irish or Hebrew origins. If considered as an Irish name, it could be related to "Caoimhe" (pronounced kee-va), meaning "gentle," "beautiful," or "precious," though Caoimhe is traditionally feminine in Irish culture. Alternatively, it might be a modern variation of the Hebrew name Akiva, meaning "to protect" or "to shelter." Keevah remains quite rare as a given name, particularly for boys. Its melodic sound and ending with an 'ah' sound gives it a gentle quality. The name has gained minimal usage in recent years as parents seek distinctive, uncommon names with cultural significance.
