Gentle birth; handsome
Keven is a variant spelling of the Irish name Kevin, derived from the Gaelic name Caoimhín. It is composed of the elements 'caomh', meaning gentle, kind, or handsome, and 'gein', meaning birth. While the 'i' spelling is the standard form, this 'e' variant had a brief period of moderate use in the mid-20th century.
