History & Origin

Lenzie points first to Scotland: a village of that name near Glasgow and a surname drawn from it, the place-name being old and of uncertain Celtic sense. A second honest route is as a clipped, respelled form of Mackenzie, 'son of Coinneach,' so a given-name Lenzie may come from either the map or the family tree.

It was never common as a first name, given to only around fifteen boys a year even at its peak in the later nineteen-thirties, and it never became widespread. A boy named Lenzie then would be a grandfather or great-grandfather now.

Did you know? There is a real Lenzie on the map, a commuter village just outside Glasgow, which is the likeliest source of the surname behind the given name.
