Kebba is of West African origin, particularly from Gambia and Senegal, where it's derived from the Mandinka word 'kebbé', meaning 'life'. This moniker gained international recognition through the late Gambian musician Kebba Touray, known professionally as Kora maestro Toumani Diabaté. It is often associated with cultural richness and musical talent.
"Kebba saw a surge in popularity with 10 births in 2003, but it has since declined, with the most recent years showing fewer than 9 births annually."
