Keshawn is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Keshawn is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 5 out of 100,000 boys have been named Keshawn. In the SmartGenius ranking, Keshawn is #1,713 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Keshawn.
Keshawn is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Keshawn cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #512 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2000. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Keshawn, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Keshawn seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.

You may not know anyone named Keshawn, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 28 states are home to men and boys named Keshawn. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Keshawn living in one state or another. If your name is Keshawn and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for boys’ names. That’s because 7.9% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters J, A and D are more common for boys' names.
With seven letters, the name Keshawn has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 7.9% of all boys' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the boys’ names that begin with a K, Kenneth is the most common.
