Kenzie Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation

Kenzie means fair, handsome. Short form of Mackenzie, from Gaelic Coinneach, meaning fair or handsome

Kenzie is a short form of Mackenzie, the Scottish surname that comes from the Gaelic Mac Coinnich, meaning son of Coinneach. Coinneach means fair or handsome, and it is the Gaelic origin of the name Kenneth. As a given name Kenzie rose to popularity in the late twentieth century, used mostly for girls in the United States and for both genders elsewhere. The z in the English spelling is a quirk of old Scots handwriting, in which it stood for a y sound. It is upbeat and friendly, with a clearly Scottish heritage.
