Keath is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of English origin. It is believed to be a variant spelling of Keith, which itself is derived from the Scottish surname 'Keth', meaning 'from the riverbank'. While Keath may not be as widely recognized as its more popular counterpart, it carries a unique charm and is often associated with individuals who stand out due to their distinctive nature.
Keath was quite popular among parents in the late 1960s to early 1970s and again briefly in the late 1980s to early 1990s, with spikes in popularity occurring in those periods. However, it seems that this name has since fallen out of favor, with only sporadic occurrences from the late 1990s onwards. Overall, Keath was given to 228 babies over the years for which data is available.
