1. Meaning of the name "Mckenzie"

Transferred the use of Irish surname from Gaelic Mac Coinnigh (son of Coinneach). Coinneach is derived from cainneach (fair; handsome). The name Mckenzie is a variation of Mackenzie, derived from a famous Scottish surname, derived from Gaelic "MacCoinnich" (or the son of Coinneach, also the son of a brilliant person).

Coinneach was originally a personal name, a nickname, which came from the Gaelic word meaning "comely, good-looking.” Even though the Mackenzies have been a significant Scottish clan for over 700 years, the usage of Mackenzie/Mckenzie as a forename is unique to North America.

The given name Mckenzie has become popular only within the past 30 years in the United States and Canada, originally among people of Scottish origin, but now part of a mainstream trend.

Mackenzie was used as a separate name for men and women, but Mckenzie had only one history for girls. The Mckenzie family name was found in the United States, Great Britain, Canada and Scotland between 1840 and 1920.
