Kenno appears in Estonia and Finland as a rare given name from the Finnic word kenno “honeycomb; cell,” evoking structure and industry. It also fits Frisian naming as a double-n variant of Keno, a medieval name traced to Old High German kuoni “brave, bold.” In English-speaking countries - especially Australia - Kenno occurs as an -o style extension of the nickname Ken.

Usage is mostly late-20th century onward in the Baltics and Nordics, with sporadic adoption elsewhere as a modern, brisk choice. Variants and related forms include Keno, Ken, Kenn, Kenny, Kenneth, and the cognate Kuno. Meanings shift by pathway: “honeycomb/cell” in the Finnic reading; “brave, bold” via the Frisian-Germanic root; or, when tied to Kenneth, the Gaelic senses “born of Aodh” or “handsome.” Overall, Kenno remains uncommon, offering a distinctive yet accessible sound anchored by the familiar Ken-.
