Kennedey Origin and Meaning

The name Kennedey is a boy's name.

Kennedey is a contemporary masculine name that represents a spelling variation of Kennedy. Originally an Irish surname derived from 'Ó Cinnéide,' meaning 'helmeted head' or 'armored head,' it gained popularity as a first name following the prominence of the Kennedy political family in America, particularly President John F. Kennedy. While Kennedy is more commonly used for girls in recent years, the 'Kennedey' spelling variant is sometimes chosen for boys to create distinction. The name carries associations with leadership, charisma, and American political history. Its Irish roots and modern appeal make it attractive to parents seeking a name with both cultural significance and contemporary style.
