Kendrix Origin and Meaning

The name Kendrix is a girl's name meaning "royal ruler, champion; home ruler".

While Kendrix is predominantly used on boys — likely owing to its musical namesakes, Kendrick Lamar and Jimi Hendrix — the most noteworthy Kendrix (as yet) is in fact Kendrix Morgan, also known as the Pink Galaxy Ranger from the Power Rangers franchise.

A name with multiple origins, Kendrix derives from the Welsh Cynwrig meaning "champion", the Anglo-Saxon Cyneric, meaning "royal ruler", the Scottish surname, MacEanraig, meaning "son of Henry", and from Hendrik, a variation Henry meaning "home ruler".

Used very quietly on girls since the early 2010s, Kendrix might appeal to those looking for something unexpected but with the same feel as Phoenix, Collins, and Kennedy.
