Kenzie / Kinzie

Meaning: (The Fair One, Handsome, Transferred use of the Irish Surname which is from the Gaelic Mac Coinnigh (Son of Coinneach). Coinneach is derived from Cainneach (Fair One, Handsome)

Origin: (Scottish)

Pronunciation: (KEN-zee, KEHN-zee, KIN-zee, KEHNZiy)

Gender: Female

I have a character in one of my novels that is named Kenzie. I chose her name to coincide with her brothers whose named were of some UK origin whether English, Irish, or Scottish and all starting with the letter K. But also there names had another thing in common they all were original names that started with Mac or Mc and I left it off. Kenzie / Kinzie is a beautiful name that is unique, lovely, and is short.
