A lot of websites will do a direct translation to "kite-town" (i.e. place of hawks) or "shed-town" (i.e. place of keas), but the surname Keaton likely comes from Ketton, a small town in England. And the name of that town has a spotty history, but may come from the nearby Chater river. And the name of that river may come from old Brittonic "Ceto-dubron", meaning "forest stream". So the "Kea" of Keaton may come from old Brittonic "Cet/Ceto", meaning forest. So you could say that the name may have a loose translation to forest or rather "Town nearby a stream in the forest".

I really love this name. It is also English with the meaning Where the Hawks Fly.
