• Notes

  The middle English for quay and key was "key(e)", or "kay". Thus, a likely meaning for Keyes (and other variations; Kay, Kaye, Key, Keys, etc) is from residence near or employment at a wharf or quay; key-bearer is a possible meaning for all variations (A Dictionary of British Surnames, by P. H. Reaney , 1958).}
