What is the meaning of the name Kenzlee ?

The baby name Kenzlee is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɛn.zli/ (KENZ-lee).

Kenzlee is English in Origin.

Kenzlee is a modern American given name, typically feminine, that blends the fashionable Kenzie with the -lee ending or respells surnames like Kensley/Kenzley. Kenzie stems from Scottish Gaelic Mackenzie (MacCoinnich/MacChoinnich), “son of Coinneach,” with Coinneach meaning “fair, handsome.” The element Lee comes from Old English leah, “meadow, clearing.” Taken as a cousin to Kensley/Kinsley, it can also inherit the Old English sense “king’s meadow” (from cyning + leah). Thus parents read Kenzlee’s meaning along lines of “fair one of the meadow” or “royal meadow,” though as a contemporary coinage its sense is associative rather than fixed.

Use of Kenzlee rose in the United States in the late 2000s and 2010s amid the surge of Z-sound, surname, and -lee names. Variants and related forms include Kenzley, Kenzleigh, Kenzlie, Kensley, Kinsley, Kenley, and Kenzie; nicknames Kenz, Kenzie, Zee, and Lee. While occasionally unisex, it is most common for girls.
