Keylor is a modern Central American name made famous by the Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who starred at the 2014 World Cup and won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid. It has no traditional meaning and is best understood as a Spanish-language blend of sounds from Kyle and Taylor; Kyle itself comes from a Gaelic word for "narrows" or "strait". The name had fewer than five births in 2000, climbed to number 1859 in 2019 and sits at number 2668 in 2025 with 49 boys.
