Keifer is an uncommon, yet distinguished given name of American origin. It is derived from the German surname 'Käfer', which translates to 'beetle'. This unique moniker adds a touch of continental flair to its bearers while retaining a strong, somewhat rustic charm.
"The name Keifer experienced significant popularity between 1988 and 1993, with peaks of over a hundred births per year during this period. However, since then it has seen a steady decline, dropping to single-digit figures in recent years."
