Meaning & Origin of Kele
A common claim: Commonly listed on Native American baby-name sites as meaning 'sparrow.' Actually: There's no reliable evidence that Kele means 'sparrow.' The same spelling is also used as an Igbo name meaning 'give thanks,' and separately as the name of a Congolese ethnic and language group — these are unrelated to each other, and neither confirms a 'sparrow' meaning.
