Kenneth

Kenneth is an English given name and surname. The name is an Anglicised form of two entirely different Gaelic personal names: Cainnech and CinĂ¡ed. The modern Gaelic form of Cainnech is Coinneach; the name was derived from a byname meaning "handsome", "comely". The name Cinaed is partly derived from the Celtic *aidhu, meaning "fire". A short form of Kenneth is Ken or Kenn. A pet form of Kenneth is Kenny.
