    Keanu

    Pronounced kee-AH-noo

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Keanu does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Cool breeze over the mountains", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Keanu.

    "Cool breeze over the mountains"
    Origin
    Hawaiian

    Keanu is the cool breeze — and the Spirit moves like wind where it wills. 'The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.' Keanu moves with the Spirit.

    Spiritual meaning

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
