Share Your Thoughts 7 Comments Keith Derera Nov 15 at 3:30 am I am a keith and i love this name ..i have two names and people who know me as keith love me Greatly Reply Jade Mar 5 at 7:59 am My 9 year old is called Keith. He’s the only Keith in his school. He was named after his pappy who died before he was born. My now husband said it took a while to get used to a then 2 year old called keith but now couldn’t imagine him being called anything else x Reply Carly R Mar 18 at 6:36 am We are struggling for a boy’s name and am loving Keith now that I have read this post. but other sources say Keith means forest or woods, nothing about “refreshing as the wind.” I think both meanings are great, just curious to your source of the meaning? Reply Julia Oct 19 at 8:07 am I had a crush on a Keith in elementary school. He later went to join the army. I love the name Keith because it has that cute K, uncommon, fits my nature themes, and has a southern charm. My first sons name is Ranger which means forest guardian, so Keith is perfect and I’ve been looking for a name for months. I’m due anyway now. Reply Keith Oct 31 at 5:05 pm I’ve never herd someone say such nice things about my name. Thank You !! Congrats on your new baby. Much Love & GOD Bless!! Keith W.
