Kenzy Origin and Meaning

The name Kenzy is a girl's name.

Kenzy is a contemporary feminine name that likely developed as either a shortened form of Mackenzie or a variant spelling of Kenzie. The name has Scottish origins, as Mackenzie was originally a surname meaning 'son of Kenneth' (from the Gaelic name Coinneach, meaning 'handsome'). As a given name, Kenzy emerged during the late 20th century trend of using surnames as first names and creating shortened, modern variants. The 'z' spelling gives the name a distinctly modern flair. While not among the most popular names, Kenzy appeals to parents seeking something brief, spunky, and contemporary with a unisex quality, though it's more commonly given to girls.
