History & Origin

Mckenzey reworks Mackenzie, from the Scottish Gaelic Mac Coinnich, 'son of Coinneach,' the fair one. A Highland clan surname, Mackenzie crossed into American given names for both sexes and especially girls, generating spellings like Makenzie, McKenzie and this one through the two-thousands.

This spelling was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 2010, while Mackenzie and Makenzie were far more widespread. A girl named Mckenzey then is in her mid-teens today.

Did you know? The Coinneach behind Mackenzie means 'fair' or 'comely,' so this Scottish clan surname quietly carries a compliment inside it.
