Kiefer is a boy’s name of German origin. Historically used for coopers or the overseers of a wine cellar, it has taken on the meaning “barrel maker” for itself. Interestingly, Kiefer also means “jaw” and “pine tree” in the German language. However, the best-known ambassador for this moniker is acclaimed Canadian actor and musician Kiefer Sutherland, who has won multiple awards, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe. What this goes to show is one’s meteoric rise from seemingly humble beginnings. If that’s something you want your little one to take to heart, Kiefer is suited to the task like no other. Nothing and no one is going to stand between them and their dream, just you watch and see!
