History & Origin

Kenzey is one of many spellings of Kenzie, the pet form of Mackenzie, from the Gaelic MacCoinnich, 'son of Coinneach' or 'the fair one.' As a stand-alone girls' name it belongs to the turn-of-the-century boom in surname names.

It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 2006 while Mackenzie and Kenzie were far more common. A girl named Kenzey then is a teenager or young adult today.

Did you know? Mackenzie began as a Scottish clan surname and was largely a boy's or unisex name until American usage made Kenzie and its spellings a firmly girlish favorite.
