Kelten is in Origin.

Kelten is a contemporary given name most plausibly shaped from the English surname Kelton, itself tied to several British place‑names. The surname is commonly explained as “farm by the spring,” from Old Norse kelda (spring) + Old English tūn (enclosure, farm), though some sources link it to Old English calf + tūn, “calves’ farm.” The spelling also echoes the ethnonym “Celt,” and in German and Dutch Kelten is the plural of “Celt,” so the name can carry a pan‑Celtic heritage vibe even if that is not its strict etymology.

As a first name, Kelton entered modest use with the rise of surname names in the late 20th century; Kelten appears as a modern respelling favored by the -en ending trend since the 2000s. Variants and near‑variants include Kelton, Keltan, Keltenn, and Kellen; short forms include Kel or Kelt. Meaning: “farm by the spring” or “calves’ farm,” with Celtic associations.
