Kennyth Origin and Meaning

The name Kennyth is a boy's name.

Kennyth is a variant spelling of Kenneth, a masculine name with Scottish Gaelic origins. Derived from the Gaelic names Cináed or Coinneach meaning "handsome" or "born of fire," it carries strong, positive connotations. The alternative spelling with a 'y' gives the traditional name a more distinctive and modern appearance while maintaining its historical roots. While less common than the standard Kenneth spelling, Kennyth offers parents a way to honor family traditions while adding uniqueness. The name gained modest popularity during the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon in contemporary naming trends, making it stand out among more conventional choices for boys.
