Did you know?

- In Spanish phonetics, the 'k' sound is almost always represented by 'qu' before 'e' or 'i', making the 'k' in Keren look like an imported or foreign spelling.
- Because it is not a native Spanish word, the name Keren does not follow the traditional Spanish diminutive patterns as naturally as names like Maria becomes Mariíta.
