Kennryck is English in Origin.

Kennryck is a modern, distinctive respelling of the English and Welsh name Kenrick/Kendrick. Its roots point to two sources: Old English Cenric or Cyneric (from cen “bold, keen” or cyne “royal” + ric “rule, power”) and Welsh Cynwrig (cyn “chief” + gwr “man, hero”). These strands yield meanings such as “bold ruler,” “royal power,” or “chief champion.” As Kenrick/Kendrick, it appears in medieval records as both a given name and a surname, later carried to the Americas and enjoying renewed visibility into the 19th–21st centuries.

Variants include Kenrick, Kendrick, Kendrik, Kendric, Kenric, and Kenrik; related surnames include McKendrick. Short forms range from Ken and Kenny to Rick and Rik, with Kendra sometimes cited as a modern feminine counterpart. Kennryck preserves the familiar KEN-rik sound while giving the spelling a distinctive double-n and archaic -ryck flourish, appealing to parents seeking a rare yet historically grounded choice.
