An unusual name. Is it a reference to the Kei River in South Africa’s Eastern Cape? Sorry - bit of a random question.

- jogu 7y agoIt's one of the readings of the Japanese character 軽, which means light (as in not heavy). That would be my guess, but I can't say for certain.
- benj111 7y ago"The core of Key is based on a ....." So either it was called key, and Kei is a homophone, or visa versa, thus the mispelling or 2 translations from a different language, or they really like Kei cars ?
- protomyth 7y agoOr autocorrect interfered
- enz 7y agoThe same kei (軽, lightweight) as kei-car, maybe: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_car https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_car
- Gys 7y agoIts Dutch it means 'stone' or 'rock'. Its often used as 'kei-goed' meaning very, very good. So in Dutch its actually great language name!
- caotic 7y agoIt's Kei (romaji) meaning light. I don't remember where I get that name, but I think I was listening to some random music.
