Keven

Even in its original spelling of Kevin, Keven is a masculine name that was rarely given before the 20th century. Irish in origin, Keven's purest form is Cóemgein, from the elements cóem, "noble" or "loved," and gin, "birth." Meaning "of noble birth," it's no wonder the name was considered a precious gift. But Keven is by no means bound to elite standing, for it too shares the meaning "beloved," making it a firm favorite among doting parents.
