Kinsie is English in Origin.

Kinsie is a modern given name in English, most often feminine, best understood as a variant of Kinsey. Kinsey began as an English surname from the Old English personal name Cynesige (cyne “royal” + sige “victory”), yielding the core meaning “royal victory.” Contemporary parents may also connect Kinsie to Mackenzie/Kenzie (from Scottish Gaelic MacCoinnich, “son of Coinneach,” with Coinneach meaning “handsome/fair”) or to Kinsley (“king’s meadow/clearing”), though these are secondary influences on the spelling and sound rather than the primary origin.

As a given name, Kinsey appears in 19th‑century records in the Anglophone world; the softer -ie spelling Kinsie surfaces in the United States by the early 20th century and gains visibility from the late 1990s onward alongside surname-style and -ie/-sey names. The name is technically unisex but trends female. Variants and related forms include Kinsey, Kinzie, Kynsie, Kinsy, Kinsley, and Kenzie; nicknames include Kins and Kin.
