Keats, derived from the Anglo-Saxon word 'cette', meaning 'rejoicing' or 'celebrating', is a unisex given name of Old English origin. In its earliest recorded forms, it was used exclusively for males, but today it is also given to females. The name gained prominence in the 19th century due to the renowned poet John Keats, who was born in London in 1795.
"Over the past five decades, the name Keats has seen a steady increase in popularity, with a noticeable spike between 2013 and 2014, and a slight dip in recent years."
