Why is this app named "Keka"?

The only language I can identify in which "keka" is a word is an Indian one called Telugu, in which it means "a loud cry."

I doubt that's what's intended.

Anyway, I'm curious why "Keka" was chosen.

My first thought was "Hey! Cake in Swedish!"
Then I realized the Swedish word for "cake" was "kaka".

The same question have arisen even in my mind. I was searching for its meaning. I have to depend upon many article source related to my work. But I haven't heard this word before. But now my doubt has been cleared. Thanks.

I too am wondering where the name "Keka", comes from in reference to this app.

I also found the word "keka" in the Telugu language, and yes it does not seem to apply.

I though, at first, that the word, "keka", referred to the stylized pill bug/roly poly image that is this site and application's mascot. However, I was unable to find any link between the pill bug and the word "keka".

At any rate, it is a good app, and I also wanted to say that I appreciate the work of the developers. Thank you.

Cheers.
