In your browser open AWS console. Go to EC2 tab. You should see in the right part under My Resources the keypairs (if you do not have one you can create - the UI is pretty intuitive). The name of the keypair is the key name you looking for.

keyname refers to ssh keypairs. You can create a new keypair on Elasticfox and use it to launch your instance.
