keeton Name Meaning and History
English: habitational name from a place called Ketton in Durham or

from the Old English personal name Catta or the Old Norse
personal name Káti + Old English tun ‘settlement’;
the second is probably from an old river name or tribal name
Cetan (possibly a derivative of Celtic ced ‘wood’)
+ Old English ea ‘river’; and the last possibly from Cornish
kee ‘hedge’, ‘bank’ + Old English tun.
