Keven

Keven is a variant spelling of Kevin, a name of Irish origin derived from the Old Irish Coemgein, composed of the elements caem, meaning fair or gentle, and gein, meaning birth. The name was borne by Saint Caoimhín of Glendalough, a sixth-century Irish monk whose veneration helped spread the name throughout Ireland and eventually the English-speaking world. Keven appears as an alternate form particularly in English, Quebec French, and Brazilian Portuguese contexts. Related forms include Kevin, Kevan, and the original Irish Caoimhín.
