What is the meaning of the name Keti ?

The baby name Keti is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɛti/ (KEH-tee); sometimes /ˈkeɪti/ (KAY-tee) in English contexts.

Keti is Georgian in Origin.

Keti is a chiefly Georgian feminine name, a lively diminutive of Ketevan, the Georgian form of Katherine. Its use is widespread in Georgia and among Georgian communities, where it functions both as an independent given name and as a nickname for Ketevan or Ekaterine. The renown of Saint Queen Ketevan (17th century), martyred in Persia, helped sustain the broader Ketevan family of names, with Keti gaining everyday appeal in the 20th century and remaining popular for its compact, modern sound. It also appears across the Caucasus and Balkans as a familiar short form of Katerina.

Ultimately from Greek Aikaterine, the name’s etymology is debated - possibly linked to Hekate or reinterpreted through katharos, "pure." The popular meaning given to the family is "pure." Related forms and variants include Ketevan, Ketino, Keto, Ekaterine, Katerina, Katarina, Katherine, Catherine, Caterina, Ekaterina, Katrina, Kate, Katie, Katia/Katya, and Kitty; spellings close to Keti include Kety and Ketty.
