Kendrick is in Origin.
Kendrick is an English surname-turned-given name with layered roots. It may derive from Welsh Cynwrig (cyn “chief, foremost” + gwr “man, hero”), yielding the sense “chief hero” or “great champion.” Another stream comes from Old English Cynerīc (cyne “royal” + rīc “power, rule”), giving “royal power” or “ruler.” In Scotland and Ireland, the surname sometimes reflects Mac Eanraig, “son of Henry,” linking it to the meaning “home-ruler.”
Found in medieval British records as Kenrick/Kendrick, it began occasional use as a first name in the 18th–19th centuries and spread in the United States, where it remains familiar today, boosted by contemporary cultural figures. Variants and spellings include Kenrick, Kendric, Kendrik, Kendryck, and Kendryc; feminine forms are rare. Nicknames range from Ken and Kenny to Rick and Ricky. Related names include Henry, Richard, Roderick, and the Welsh Cynwrig.
