Mekennah is English, Irish in Origin.

Mekennah is a contemporary respelling of McKenna/Makenna, typically pronounced meh-KEN-uh. Its core lineage traces to the Irish and Scottish surname Mac Cionaoith (also Mac Cionnaith), meaning "son of Cionaodh." The personal name Cionaodh incorporates Aodh, the Gaelic god-name meaning "fire," yielding senses such as "descendant of the fiery one" or "born of fire." As a given name, forms of McKenna surged in North America in the 1990s and 2000s, largely for girls though historically unisex.

Bearers may encounter parallel associations with the Kikuyu name Makena ("happy one"), which helped popularize the Makenna spelling, though this is a separate etymology. Close variants and spellings include McKenna, Mckenna, Makenna, Mekenna, Makena, Makenah, McKennah, and Mekena; short forms include Kenna and Ken. Mekennah’s -ah ending softens the look while keeping the surname-chic style and fiery Gaelic meaning.
