Hey Talha! It's totally okay to not know much about Keepers! There's actually not a lot of lore about them as of yet. ^^; But I've got a few links that might help you out.
>> Miqo'te Naming Conventions - SE's official lore post about Miqo'te naming conventions and societal/marital norms.
>> FreelanceWizard's Miqo'te Lore Compilation - Collection of Dev posts containing Miqo'te lore.
>> Keeper of the Moon Census - Complete list of canon Keeper family names and their distribution throughout Eorzea.
>> Player Created Keeper Groups - RPC Thread listing Player-created Keeper families/groups/clans as well as fabricated "lore" about them. Note: This thread is not strictly official lore based!
TL;DR: Miqo'te migrated to Eorzea during the Age of Endless Frost approximately 3000 years ago (aka the 5th Umbral Era). The nocturnal clan of Miqo'te, known as the Keepers of the Moon mostly settled in and around the forests of The Black Shroud. There are 50 canon Keeper Families and many of those families continue to live within the Shroud today, but a good many others have left the Wood because of racial persecution from Gridanians and territorial disputes with other Keepers. This has prompted many Keepers to become Adventurers and leave the Shroud. They uphold a matriarchal society and very rarely interact with outsiders.
Hope this helps! ^^ Let me know if you have more questions!
