Meaning & origin

The name Keoki has been in use in the United States since at least 1969, when Social Security data first recorded it. It reached its peak popularity in 1978, though it has never ranked among the top 1000 names. Since the 1970s, its trajectory has been stable, with very few annual births. As a Hawaiian form of George, it carries the meaning 'God is gracious' and reflects the strong missionary influence on Hawaiian naming traditions. Keoki has not been heavily associated with any particular U.S. state, as its rarity means no top-state data is available.

Keoki is the Hawaiian form of George, a name of Greek origin meaning 'farmer' (from georgos). Introduced to Hawaii by Christian missionaries, it became a common Hawaiian name. Its popularity peaked in the 1970s and has since remained stable but rare.
