Keny is Gaelic, Scottish in Origin.
Keny is a modern spelling of Kenny, the familiar diminutive of Kenneth with roots in Scottish and Irish Gaelic. Kenneth derives from two Gaelic names: Coinneach, meaning handsome or fair, and Cinaed, often interpreted as born of fire, so Keny carries both meanings.
The y spelling gained use in the 20th century as Ken and Kenny rose in the English-speaking world and phonetic variants spread in Spanish- and French-speaking communities. Keny appears as an independent given name and as a short form for Kenneth; it may also casually shorten Kennedy or Kendrick. Variants and related forms include Ken, Kenny, Kennie, Keni, and the Gaelic Coinneach; feminine counterparts such as Kenna exist.
