Kevis is a unisex given name of Welsh origin, derived from the personal name Kevan which means "petty". The name has gained popularity in recent years and is often used as an alternative to traditional names like Kevin or Keith. In Wales, the name is believed to have been introduced by English settlers during the Middle Ages. It is not clear how widely the name Kevis was used historically, but it is now recognized as a distinct Welsh name with its own unique identity.
The name Kevis experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years with a notable spike in births from 1980 to 1986, reaching a peak of 14 births in 1986. However, since then, its usage has significantly decreased, with most years having fewer than 10 births and several years having only 5 or fewer.
