What is the meaning of the name Kenjy ?

Kenjy is Japanese in Origin.

Kenjy is a rare, modern respelling of the Japanese given name Kenji (pronounced KEN-jee). In Japanese it can be written with many kanji, yielding nuances such as 健二 "healthy/strong + two," 賢二 "wise + two," 謙司 "modest + to govern," or 憲治 "law/constitution + to rule." Most readings have traditionally paired a virtuous quality with the element meaning "second," once common for a second son, though actual use is not strictly tied to birth order.

Kenji rose to steady use in 20th-century Japan and among the global diaspora; well-known bearers include poet Kenji Miyazawa and director Kenji Mizoguchi. The y-ending Kenjy surfaced in English-speaking records late in the century as a stylistic twist while keeping the same sound and meaning. Variants and relatives: Kenji (standard), Kenjirō/Kenjiro; short forms in English may include Ken or Kenny.
