Spring or well; from the spring
Keldan is likely a modern variation of the Scandinavian name Keld or the Old Norse name Ketill. It is often associated with the word for a spring or well of water, symbolizing a source of life and clarity. While rare in the United States, it follows the popular two-syllable 'n-ending' trend for boys.
