Keon

Boy name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Keon: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2022.

Of Korean origin, Keon means “strong” or “power,” built from the hanja character meaning “foundation.” While relatively rare in Scotland, it gained visibility through Keon Sabb, the American football safety who played for Alabama and Michigan. Though no major place bears the name directly, the similarly-pronounced Irish name Cian—meaning “ancient” and borne by a son of the legendary warrior Cú Chulainn—offers a Celtic parallel. A unisex name, Keon can also be spelled Kion or Keone, the latter common in Hawaii. Modern and short, it balances strength with a soft, two-syllable flow.
