Keltan is English in Origin.

Keltan is a modern given name likely created as a streamlined variant of Kelton, an English and Scottish surname derived from several place-names. Depending on the locality, the name's elements trace to Old Norse kelda "spring" combined with Old English tun "enclosure, farm," or to Old English cealf "calf" + tun. As a result, Keltan is commonly interpreted to mean "farm by a spring" or "calf farm/settlement," with a broader sense of "homestead." Pronounced KEL-tun, it fits the crisp, two-syllable style popular today.

As a first name it has seen sporadic use since the late 20th century, mainly in North America and the UK, often chosen as an alternative to Kellen/Kellan and Kelton. Variants and related forms include Kelton, Kelten, Kelden, Keldan, Keltin, Kelan, and Kellan; short forms include Kel. The name remains uncommon, lending it a distinctive yet familiar sound.
