Once the masculine name Ketil casts its spell on you, you'll be totally smitten. A respelling of the Old Norse title Ketill, Ketil translates to "kettle," "cauldron," or even "helmet." When your little one begins to run, climb, and hop their way through the world, they may experience a few bumps and stumbles. In these situations, you might just want to place a permanent helmet on their little head! Since this is unlikely to be an option, you'll think of other "ingredients" to make Ketil smile, from plentiful cuddles to words of encouragement.
