Kenidi is Irish in Origin.
Kenidi is a modern, phonetic spelling of Kennedy, a given name derived from the Irish and Scottish surname Ó Cinnéidigh/Mac Cinnéidigh. The Gaelic personal name Cinnéidigh is typically analyzed from ceann "head" + éideadh "armour, covering," yielding the sense "helmet-headed" or "armored head"; a minority reading connects the second element with éidigh "harsh/ugly," sometimes glossed as "rough-headed." Contemporary usage favors the protective, warrior-like nuance.
Used for centuries as a clan surname, Kennedy entered Anglophone given-name use in the 20th century and rose sharply in the United States with the prominence of the presidential Kennedy family. Kenidi follows the late-20th/early-21st-century trend of streamlined respellings and is unisex, though more common for girls. Variants include Kennedy, Kennedi, Kennedie, Kenadee, and Kenidy; short forms Keni and Kenni are also heard. Pronunciation is generally KEN-ih-dee.
