A Scottish name associated with the woods, groves, and natural landscapes.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Keith vzniklo zo škótskeho priezviska odvodeného od miestneho názvu. Ten sa najčastejšie spája s britonským alebo piktským koreňom *cēt, príbuzným s waleským coed „les, háj“; presná etymológia toponyma však nie je úplne istá.
