Kynnlie is English in Origin.

Kynnlie is a modern American elaboration of Kinley/Kynlee, names that trace to two sources: the Scottish Gaelic personal name Fionnlagh (anglicized Finlay), “fair-haired hero” or “white warrior,” which underlies the surnames McKinley and Kinley; and the English place-name family Kinsley/Kingsley, from Old English cyning + leah, “king’s meadow.” The double-n, -lie spelling places Kynnlie among contemporary respellings that soften the sound while preserving the bright “kin/kin-lee” rhythm. Because its roots are surnames, the name is technically unisex, though it’s used chiefly for girls in North America.
