Keyanda is an uncommon, yet captivating name of African origin, specifically from the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is derived from the Kikongo word "kayanda," which means "dancing." The name Keyanda was traditionally given to children born during a festival or celebration, as it is believed that their lives would be filled with joy and happiness, much like a dance. Today, it is recognized as a unisex name, although it remains relatively rare outside of its native region.
"Keyanda saw a fluctuation in births from 1981 to 1994, with the highest years being 1981 and 1994 at 6 births each, and other peak years including 1982, 1984, and 1987, all at 5 births. Overall, there were a total of 27 births during this period."
