Kenzli is English in Origin.
Kenzli is a contemporary American given name, likely a phonetic respelling of Kenzley/Kensley or a blend of Kenzie with the -lee/-leigh ending. Kenzie is a shortened form of the Scottish surname Mackenzie (Gaelic MacCoinnich, "son of Coinneach"), with Coinneach meaning "handsome, fair." The final element -lee traces to Old English leah, "meadow, clearing." Taken together, modern interpretations read Kenzli as "fair one's meadow" or "handsome clearing." Some also connect it to Kinsley ("king's meadow"), though the Z points to the Kenzie route.
As a given name, Kenzli surfaced in the United States in the early 21st century amid the popularity of -lee/-leigh endings and inventive Z spellings. It is used mostly for girls but remains technically unisex. Common variants include Kenzley, Kenzlee, Kenzlie, Kenzleigh, Kensley, Kinsley, Kenzie, Kenzi, Kenzy, and Kenley; nicknames Kenz and Kenzie are typical.
