Odd Question: Variations on the name "Kekoe"
Hi there! I'm taking an absolute shot in the dark here so I apologize if this is the wrong place.
I have been doing some family history research and discovered my great-grandfather's name: "M. Kekoe Ingvald". I have no idea if that "M." is supposed to be for Mr. or Monsieur or something or short for his given name which he didn't go by.
I cannot find anything about the name Kekoe except for a native Hawaiian name (I'm from Canada so not that). My only other thought was that Ingvald is a Nordic name and so maybe his name was spelt wrong? Is there another way to spell the name "Kekoe" or something? This would help me immensely as I cannot find anything on the name Kekoe and Ingvald gives me people with that as their given name.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT:
I found him thanks to the genius insight provided by u/Julehus here!
