Mackena Origin and Meaning

The name Mackena is a girl's name.

Mackena is a feminine name representing a modern spelling variation of Mackenna or McKenna, which originated as an Irish surname derived from 'Mac Cionaoith,' meaning 'son of Cionaodh' (a name meaning 'fire-born' or 'handsome'). This particular spelling with one 'n' gives the name a streamlined, contemporary look. Mackena gained popularity as a given name in the late 20th century, part of the trend toward using surnames as first names, particularly for girls. The name carries a strong yet feminine quality with its melodic sounds. While less common than the McKenna spelling, Mackena offers a subtle distinction while maintaining the Irish heritage and modern appeal that attracts parents seeking a name that balances tradition with contemporary style.
