Kendryck is a contemporary respelling of Kendrick, an English given name and surname with layered roots. It derives variously from Old English Cyneric (cyne “royal” + ric “power, rule”), from Welsh Cynwrig (cyn “chief/first” + gwr “man, hero,” yielding “chief hero/champion”), and in Scotland as a surname from Mac Eanraig “son of Henry.” Together these strands give Kendryck an overarching sense of royal power and capable leadership.

As a forename, Kendrick appears in English records from the 1800s and gained wider American use in the late 20th century; the y-spelling Kendryck is a recent stylistic twist, usually pronounced KEN-drik.
