Kenkaide Origin and Meaning

The name Kenkaide is a boy's name meaning "steep place; of the head of the rock; of the head of the battle".

Kenkaide is likely a twist on the Scottish surname Kincaid, but with nickname Ken factored in.

Singer and actress, Ashanti, and her husband, rapper and musician Nelly, named their son Kareem Kenkaide in 2024. Ashanti explained that they chose Kenkaide because it is her father's name. Interestingly, however, her father's name is written as Ken-Kaide, suggesting it could also be a compound name, comprising of Ken and Kade, meaning "handsome" or "born of" and "round" or "barrel".
