Keerthikeyan is Sanskrit, Tamil in Origin.
Keerthikeyan is a modern South Indian (especially Tamil) masculine given name formed from Sanskrit kīrti “fame, glory” and the Tamilized masculine ending -keyan/-eyan (as in Karthikeyan). It conveys “the glorious one,” “he of renown,” or “bearer of fame.”
The root appears in Vedic texts; as a name element it is longstanding across India, while Keerthikeyan itself rose in late‑20th‑century Tamil Nadu and among the diaspora, chosen for its auspicious meaning and the familiar cadence of Karthikeyan without the specific Murugan association. Variant spellings include Keerthikeyan, Kirthikeyan, and Kirithikeyan; related short forms and nicknames are Keerthi/Kirthi and Keyan. Cognate compounds with the same root include Keerthigan and Keerthivasan. Feminine counterparts are Keerthi and Keerthika (Kirthika). Orthography varies by transliteration convention, and a common Tamil rendering is கீர்த்திகேயன்.
