Land of the ships; narrow land
Keiland is a modern English variant of the name Keelan or a combination of the Gaelic 'caol' meaning narrow and the English suffix 'land'. It may also be interpreted as a variation of the Old Norse 'Kjell-land', referring to a land of ships or a specific topographical feature. Its usage is rare and often chosen for its surname-like quality.
