Keller
k(el)-ler
US Popularity:3133
Origin:German
Meaning:Cellar master; Son of Céileachar; Maker of cauls or kells
From American author Helen Keller to famed chef Thomas Keller, Keller is a gender-neutral name that could give baby plenty of inspiration. Describing someone in charge of a cellar, store, or food, Keller derives from an Old German last name meaning “cellar master.” Though the power of a cellar master is quite intriguing, Keller is also commonly associated with the Irish name Kelleher or Ó'Ceilechair, meaning “son of Céileachar.” In Middle England, Keller may have been an occupation title for someone who worked making “cauls or kells,” a close-fitting cap typically worn by women. Wherever baby Keller’s future career aspirations lead them, they can find joy in pursuing their passions and doing the things they love most.
