What is the meaning of the name Keity ?

The baby name Keity is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KAY-tee (IPA: /ˈkeɪti/).

Keity is English in Origin.

Keity is a modern spelling variant of Katie/Katy, the familiar short form of Katherine/Catherine. The name traces back to Greek Aikaterine, whose etymology is debated but has long been associated with katharos, "pure," through medieval Christian usage and the cult of Saint Catherine of Alexandria.

Keity appears in late-20th-century records as a creative, phonetic update, especially in English-speaking communities, Estonia (alongside Keiti), and Brazil, where Anglophone-influenced spellings appeal. It preserves the bright, youthful tone of Katie while offering a distinctive visual twist. Related forms include Katie, Katy, Kaity, Catie, Caty, Kati, Keiti, and Katti; fuller cross-language counterparts span Katherine, Catherine, Katarina, Katrina, Ekaterina, Katrin, Karin, and Caitriona. Meanings attached to the broader family emphasize "pure," with secondary associations of clarity and virtue.
