The Keys are a series of islands, a small scale archipelago. How many are there? No one knows. The word Key is short for Keychane, the Spanish word meaning "lost item". Many people know of Key West and Key Largo, but there are many more, some without names. If you have money you can buy a Key and name it whatever you want.
