kelti is English in Origin.

Kelti is a modern given name that most closely relates to the Scottish surname and place name Kelty/Keltie, borne by a Fife mining town and by the Keltie Water in Perthshire. Onomasticians link the root either to Goidelic terms for "wood, woodland" (compare Scottish Gaelic coille/coilltean and Irish coill/coillte) or to the ethnonym for the Celts (Latin Celtae, Greek Keltoi). As a result, Kelti is interpreted as "from the wooded place" or "Celtic one," both culturally resonant readings.

Used as a given name since the late 20th century, Kelti is rare but pan-Anglophone and unisex, with a slight modern-feminine tilt through its -i/-ie spellings. Typically pronounced KEL-tee. Variants include Kelty, Keltie, and Keltee; diminutives such as Kel also appear. Kelti fits with contemporary nature-and-heritage names while remaining distinctive, and its concise rhythm pairs well with longer middles.
