Kennie
Meaning of Kennie
Kennie vaults onto the naming scene with an energetic wink, a unisex gem carved from the Gaelic “Coinneach,” meaning “handsome” or “born of fire,” and spun off its sturdier sibling Kenneth. It’s pronounced KEN-ee, a jaunty two-syllable melody that bounces like marbles in a sunlit hallway. Though just nine little Kennies arrived in U.S. nurseries in 2024—landing at rank 941—this name radiates outsized warmth, conjuring backyard barbecues in Kansas one moment and cozy London playdates the next. With its playful edges and time-tested roots, Kennie feels like an heirloom locket passed through generations, ready to spring into a brand-new story. It’s the kind of name that tips its cap to tradition, then dashes into tomorrow with a mischievous grin.
