Keetra is a unique and exotic name of African origin. It is derived from the Swahili word "kijete", which means "rain". The name Keetra is believed to have been brought to prominence by the late American R&B singer Aaliyah, who used it as her middle name.
The use of the name Keetra has grown in popularity since its association with Aaliyah. However, it remains relatively rare and distinctive, reflecting its African origins and musical connections. Although there is no specific history attached to the name Keetra outside of its association with Aaliyah, its meaning and origin give it a powerful and intriguing character all its own.
Keetra is quite rare, with only 5 babies named so between 1976 and 1980.
