Keh is an uncommon given name and surname element found across cultures. In Yoruba (Nigeria), it serves as a clipped, affectionate form of Kehinde, the name given to a second-born twin; the root sense is “the one who comes after” or “arrives later.” As a standalone given name, Keh appears sporadically in the diaspora but retains the twin-linked meaning when derived from Kehinde, and usage tends to be gender‑neutral.

Within Chinese naming contexts, Keh surfaces in older or dialectal romanizations (notably Hokkien/Teochew and Hakka) where a final -h may mark a checked tone; it can correspond to several Mandarin readings such as Ke or Ge, with meaning determined by the specific hanzi chosen. Documented usage is modern and rare, appealing to families seeking a brief, cross‑lingual form. Related variants and spellings include Ke, Kei (phonetic), and the longer Kehinde; compound personal names like Keh‑Lin or Keh‑Wei also appear in Taiwanese-style hyphenated forms.
