What the Data Says About Kele

As a boy's name, Kele currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2001. The name reached its historical peak in 2001, when 12 babies received it in a single year. Kele is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 75 additional births since 1966.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kele performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 61 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Kele shows notable generational variation in parental adoption.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kele in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 89 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
