Kellen
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kellen: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2010.
Of Germanic origin, Kellen is an anglicised form of the Irish name Ceallachán, meaning "little bright-headed one" or "warrior". It gained modern familiarity through American actor Kellen Lutz, known for his role in the *Twilight* saga, and Kellen Mond, an NFL quarterback who played for the Minnesota Vikings. The name shares its root with the Irish surname O'Callaghan, which has given its name to several places in Ireland, including Callaghan's Mills in County Clare. While less common in Scotland, Kellen has steadily appeared in birth records since the late 20th century, often as a fresh alternative to the similar-sounding Kevin or Kellan, the latter of which has a separate derivation from the Welsh *celyn*, meaning "holly".
