Keable Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Kibble,' i.e. Cuboid. A strong confirmation of the view that Kibbel was an old personal name is the existence of such local names as Kibblethwaite, Kibbleworth, Kibblestone, Cobbledick, which see. The absence of prefixes in the instances below is additional evidence. I doubt not it is the Domesday Cuboid, and therefore a mere variant of Cobbold, which see.
