Closet i found was KeyFob.

Fob is the name of the small pockets in vests meant to hold your keys. In modern use it means an attachment to your keychain, usually decorative.

Please clarify if this is not what you were looking for.

do you mean key fob? The word fob may be linked to the low German dialect for the word Fuppe, meaning "pocket."

Yes. In keyfob what does the fob part originate from or mean?
