What Does the Name Kenzie Mean?
Kenzie is an English and Scottish given name, usually a short form of Mackenzie, and it is commonly glossed as 'fair one.' Mackenzie derives from Scottish Gaelic Mac Coinnich, literally 'son of Coinneach.' Coinneach was a Gaelic personal name meaning 'fair' or 'comely,' and it is also the source of the English name Kenneth. The shortened form Kenzie drops the Mac- element, so it is not a Gaelic patronymic itself; its usual meaning comes from the Coinneach element rather than from the phrase 'son of.'
Kenzie Name History & Origins
Mackenzie is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic surname Mac Coinnich. The surname belongs to Clan Mackenzie, a Scottish Highland clan associated with Kintail and Ross-shire; in Gaelic the clan was Clann Choinnich, 'children of Coinneach.' Mackenzie later became a given name, used at first mainly for boys in Scotland and then more widely. Kenzie is a shortened form of that given name, formed by dropping the Mac- element. It occurs as both a given name and a surname. In modern use it is unisex, given to boys and girls.
