Mackenzie Name Meaning

The name M isckenzie is a variant of Mackenzie that originated from a Scottish distinguished surname, itself derived from the older Gaelic "MacCoinnich" (or son of Coinneach, also the son of the 'bright one'). Coinneach was originally a personal name, an alias, coming from the Gaelic word meaning "attractive, good-looking." Although the Mackenzies have been a significant Scottish clan for over 700 years, the use of Mackenzie/Mckenzie as a given name is unique to North America. The given name MacKenzie has become popular only within the last few years. 30 years in the United States and Canada, originally among people of Scottish origin, but now part of a general trend, Mackenzie has been used as a personal name for boys and girls alike.

Personality

As natural adventurers, these personalities thrive on the new and unexpected and prefer to be constantly on the go. This makes them feel alive. They'll stir up some action if there isn't enough around, and they're inherent risk-takers who enjoy pushing the envelope. Naturally rebellious, the Five personalities are fearless and do not resist change. Travel and new experiences eat their souls. Five are very social and attract friends easily. People love to be around the fun-loving and exciting Five energy. This is also a lucky number in numerology (like Threes), so fortune seems to shine on them, aided by their own optimism and good nature.

Popularity

MacKenzie (like Madison and Makayla) is part of a widespread American trend crazy about “M” names. American parents also like the use of androgynous-sounding surnames and first names by their daughters. Mckenzie is an example that illustrates a couple of different naming fads of the day. It is a modern invention and thus was not boiled down in religious history like most traditional names, but has retained some of that old Scottish Gaelic flavor. McKenzie followed Mackenzie into the US pop charts and first debuted in 1984. Helped by the popularity of the more commonly used Mackenzie, McKenzie has enjoyed a good ride up the charts. She never managed a spot on the Top 100 list of most favored girl names, but it seems to be a favorite spelling in the southern states. McKenzie is a Top 50 name in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Mississippi (based on 2010 data). It also does very well in West Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.

We named our daughter Mackenzie. It'seemed like a mouthful at first, but It's grown on everyone. If our friends and family don't like it, at least they've been kind enough to keep it to the'selves! We don't like "Mack" for a nickname, though - so we'll just have to correct people until our daughter is old enough to decide for he'self what she wants to be called.

I gave my son the middle name Mackenzie because it is a boy's name. A masculine name and where the'shortened version "Mac" came from. Why people insist on giving boy names to girls is beyond me.

I wish I lived in the US, I'd name my daughter Mackenzie I'mediately. Unfortunately in Holland (where I live) this name doesn't exist and even if it did, people would probably see it as a Scottish sirname. Maybe I could be the first and introduce Mackenzie in Holland :) Although I don't understand why anyone would want to spell it differently (no c, use of '), It's such a unique, sweet and powerful name as it is!

Hello I am the only person to ever live with the'spelling I have of "makenzie" as I commonly see It'spelled. I spell my name Mackensey. U may have herd of it though on record I am the only person actually given'the name. I find it beautiful unique and soft as a way to describe it. I ALWAYS have to tell people how to spell it or they just come up with it on there own. A inter'sting way a lady at Starbucks spelt it was mackenszee though I have herd of that. I am always called Big Mac which is annoying science I am a vegetarian 97 pounds. The correct way to say it is mu.kenz.y . My middle name is Layloni though I go by Lynn. I am Mackensey Layloni p. (I'm not gonna say my last so It'starts with p.) my nicknames r Big Mac macaroon Mac and che'se kensi (as I love to spell it though it is often Kenzie though I find it plain and boring,I like to be unique.)Macadamian nut,Mac,Mickey,Mickey dee Kiki,kens,keekerz,mackens,macy, and lots lots more. It means beautiful;daughter of a wise ruler. If you have further questions or would like to talk to me, in instagram you can contact me at blue_eyed_blondie_kensi.

I love this name. My husband and I plan to name our first daughter and child who is due in November, Makenzie. The only reason why i don't want the "c" in the name is because I don't want people to nickname her Mac. I don't know if they would, but i feel leaving the C out would help to avoid that from happening, any thoughts❤️

I named my son Mackenzie in 2008 when'the name was very unheard of. I read that is was a strong surname and should be reserved for males. I had no idea that thousands of women were then going to start naming their little girls Mackenzie. My son gets picked on and I hate it for him. If I could change it now, I probably would.

I have a bit of a problem with the name being used as a girls name. Whichever way you look at it, Mac is Celtic for 'Son of' and Kenzie is from the Celtic, Kenneth, which means 'The Handsome One'- Hence Son of The Handsome One, for a girl❤️❤️❤️❤️

We live in the UK and have named our youngest son Jared (Evan for his middle name) everyone we have met have said how much they love the name and how they had not heard of it before. My Nieces wife actually has a nephew called it as well and apart from the celebs he's the only other Jared we know of. I love the name and It'suits my son amazingly well, our eldest is called Aaron (middle name of Bryan after my Dad) and we had lots of comments on his name when he was born in 2014 and now people say we've chosen well for both of our boys. Oh and no one has ever called Jared Jerry! Not sure why anyone would! Aaron is called 'Azza' by his friends at school and Jared can't quite say it (he turns 2 in Feb) so calls him 'Ara'.

My best friend is named Mackenzie, and so many people pick on him because It's also a girls name... I call him Mack, but everyone spells it wrong: Mac. They always forget the K. And also, there are about five girls named Mackenzie that I know of... It's kind of funny.

replay
12/28/2023 03:19:22

My name is Mackenzie. Of course, I was named that when not many people had the name. And no one can spell it right. And anyway, Mackenzie doesn't JUST mean "Son of Coinnach". Other meanings of it are "fire-born" or "son of the wise leader". And since Coinnach (yes, I'm probably spelling that wrong) is derived from the'scot/Irish word for "handsome", the name's meaning can also be taken as "fair child". So, I like my name and dislike it when othe's wonder why I'm named for a surname. I personally find it an inter'sting quirk in the name.

Ahhh...This would indeed be my name. I cannot count the number of times i've been picked on for having it. It'shouldn't even be considered a girl's name. When you have Mac________ it automatically means "Son Of ______". But It'seems as if everybody in America is really stupid. I'mean they can't figure out Mac____ names, and It'seems all the names ending in "Son" and now girl's names too. For 10 years i've been picked on (I'm 15) for having the name Mackenzie, i've kept my cool about it, but seriously the next person who gives stuff about it is going to be broken in half.

I love the name Mackenzie for both boys and girls. We decided our second child would be called Mackenzie regardless of their sex. We ended up having a little boy. Most people, when we tell them our child's name say something to the effect of "What a lovely name for a girl." We are constantly correcting people on it. I hope its not something that annoys him when he is older. Nik

We named our 3 year old daughter Makenzie, and had heard the meaning "child of wise leader", but recently I found another meaning which is quite appropriate for her... the name also has an Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "fire-born; child of the wise ruler". The name's development was also influenced by Cainnech, meaning "good-looking". Now the part that really struck me is the "fire-born" meaning, as she is absolutely a WILD girl- ALWAYS FULL OF ENERGY! Her father and I both have many Native American ancestors, and he began calling her "Running Wild Fire" from a young age. In addition, she is an Aries, which is a fire sign. I also think it is neat that this meaning is Irish in origin because I have Irish ancestors as well. Pretty amazing I think!

My name is Mackenzie. i've never really gone by anything else except perhaps MJ for my first and middle name. People all the time spell it wrong, Mckenzie is probably the most common misspelling. Most of the time people pronounce it right, though. It's only last year (I'm 15) when I first met another person with the name Mackenzie. It's nice having an original name but I don't like having othe's not know what the name is or asking always how to spell it. Even my own family can't spell it! But, It's an ok name.

My daughter's name is Makenzie. Her dad and I chose this name because we liked the way It'sounds. For a nickname, I now call her Maky Bear or Kenzie Bear. EVeryone else calls her Kenzie. Her dad chose the'spelling because we never knew of anyone named Makenzie with that'spelling and he wanted her to be "different".

This is my name. It is an old name and as such it has many pronunciations, the native language of the person pronouncing it determines whether or not It's being mispronounced.

The only other person that i've met with the name is my father, the only other person i've known with that name is one of the roommates on one season of MTV's The Real World. I'm not sure why It's spiked in popularity, but i've known people to name their children Nehemiah after hearing and liking my name...

We named our son Mackenzie in 2008, and it is such a nice strong wonderful name for a boy. Sad to see it being used as a girls' name but we still love it for boys. I do wish people would consider the meanings of names, whether it means "son" etc, before just using it without thinking. Our son is 13 now and still loves his name in the full version, never preferring to use a nickname instead. And if he ever runs into the occasional uninformed person who thinks it is a girls' name, he will happily educate them on name origins and meanings.

I have a daughter called Mackenzie. She was named for her much beloved and sadly missed Scottish paternal grandfather who she unfortunately will never have the opportunity to meet. McKenzie was her grandfather's clan and many of the family ,including him, have McKenzie as a middle name. We shorten it to Maisie, which suits her well (she's 3) and she can decided what she prefers to be known as when'the time comes.

Love the name. For the person who has such a problem with It's meaning ("son of") how about getting your facts straight. There are multiple meanings, as there are for many words in this great big world of ours!! The Irish/Gaelic meaning is "fire-born." For us, since we are expecting a baby girl in August and my husband is a firefighter/paramedic . . .we think It's great. Try looking up other words, in the English language or othe's, and see how many different meanings there are for the'same or similar words. Then, get a life!

I'll always think of Mackenzie as a boys name. It'seems just sort of trendy and unresearched when I hear it on a girl but everyone has their own taste.

My name is Mckenzie, I'm a gal. Tons of people misspell it! They put y's and all sorts of stuff into it, but oh well. Some folks can't even say it right! (but those are mostly old people and they don't remember it anyway!) i've met one girl named Mckenzie and never heard of it anywhere else really. Maybe I need to get out more❤️❤️ :P

I love the name Mackenzie on a boy, whenever I hear it I automatically think of a boy with curly blonde hair and green eyes. I don't understand why it is so popular for girls in the USA, it annoys me a bit because it was originally a Scottish surename and the meaning is masculine, I'mean do the parents even look at the meanings❤️ I am planning on naming my son this. I told my mum and she told me she's nicknamimg him Mac. That's okay, he'll probably be Kenzie to me though.

My name is Mackenzie and I love it! It means fire-born & fair one, NOT just 'son of a wise leader'. My name is often misspelled, but I wouldn't change my spelling if I had the choice. Nicknames include: Mac, Kensi, Kinny, Kenz, Zee, Zee-Zee... The list goes on and on... XD It's EXTREMELY rare for me to find another Mackenzie, and people are always telling me how beautiful my name is. i've only ever had one person ever think my name is a guy's name.

My name is Mackenzie and I really enjoy the name. People can never'spell it right, but it is fun for me now to see how people spell it. A lot of the time I get McKenzie, Mkenzie, Mcenzie, Mkensi, and Makenzi. When people spell it wrong it gets annoying, but teache's and classmates spell it right which is helpful. I have always liked the name and am glad that not many people have the'same name. I like the way that I spell it and I get a range of nicknames; kenzie, mack, kenziedoodle, curly, macurly, sherly and all other fun ones. I have never been called Mack & Che'se, if someone called me that I think it would drive me up the wall!

I am going to have a baby in Feb. If it is a girl I will name it Makenzie. I also will leave out the "c" to hopefully avoid nicknames. I also did this with my first daughter, Makaila. No Mik because of Mickey, no Makay- because of Kay or Kayla. A child's name is part of its identity, to me there should be no nicknames unless the parents specify this at infancy.

My name is McKenzie. It's spelled a bit differently but I love it all the'same. The weirdest thing is I am actually Irish and a few of my friends find it funny but I have had a plaque on my wall for as long as I can remember and It'says "McKenzie, intelligent wise leader (Irish Gaelic)" I wouldn't trade my name for any other. I know that It'started off as a boys name but does it really matter what your named❤️ I have only met one other Mackenzie and I feel like I am one of the nicer ones. I know every name has the mean ones and the nice ones but I fell on the good side. I feel like other girls hear my name and ask if I'm a preppy mean girl. And I have been called that but then I talk to them and prove them wrong. I feel anyone named anything around McKenzie has the power to be who he or she likes. Your name is just a name not a title.

My name is Mackenzie and I LOVE it! It's very unique and I don't run into many people that'share my name. I love all the crazy nicknames people come up for me. I recently started calling myself Mack because a lot of people seem to not understand what I saying in crowded areas, so It's just easier and quicker to say Mack. The only thing I don't like is how many different ways you can spell it. My name always seems to be misspelled on name cards or anything like that. Oh well.. its an awesome name!

This has been my name'since 1964. No one could ever pronouce it correctly. Jr. High I took my middle name, Jo. How can you possible mess that up!(but people call me Jill) Could have been worse, I was named for my Aunt Lila May. My dad picked this out and I would never change it but I still to this day cannot get used to hearing myself called this. Not a dislike, just very odd name when I was growing up with all the Linda and Pam names. This was a very Southern Louisianna where my parents came from. Enjoy the name to all of the new little girls.

I live in Australia and named my daughter Mackenzie in 2014 when it was barely known here. It's become a bit more popular but wouldn't hit the Top 30 I wouldn't think. As for being a boy's name, my name is Kelly which is used for both males and females as well. And if we're going to worry about "Mac" meaning "son of", then every woman with Mac in their surname needs to be looking for a change.

Someone else thought i was italian because of my name (i am not).. I found relief in european speaking countries. despite the difficulties, i always liked my name.

My name is MAckenzie Ferry. My mother named me that because my father's side of the family is Irish. It means born of a wise and handsome leader, which of course my father was consider handsome when he was young and is smart of math and science. At first, when I was young, I didn't like my name because it wasn't very popular nowadays. But as I got older I accepted it because people thought it was a beautiful and an unusual name. I'm thankful for my parents naming me something beautiful. I feel like a sacred beauty in folklore with that name.

Though everyone else spells it either "Makenzie" or "Makenzi" and even "McKenzie". People are always spelling my name wrong because there are 2 other Mackenzie's in my grade with two different spellings so they are always screwing it up which doesnt bother me that much. Some nicknames I have been given are Kenzie,Ken,Kenz,Big Mac, and Mac Dog. I absolutely hate being called Mackenz and Mac or Mac n Che'se.

When I picked this name for my son almost 6 years ago, I didn't think it would become so popular! I was using a baby name list from 2015, since I became pregnant in '04. The name wasn't even in'the top 100. I loved it because it was different. I have met a couple Brayden's, but mine is by far the cutest! His name fits him well! :)

My pet peeve is boy names for girls. It leaves so few choices for boys, and embarrasses boys. I put a lot of thought into the meaning of a name, and find It'strange that all parents don't do the'same. Names that have Mc/Mac or Son in them are BOYS names. So I don't think girls should be called Mackenzie, McKenna, etc., which means "son of Kennedy," or names like Addison which means "son of Adam." *Kennedy, by the way, means "Ugly head" in Gaelic.

McKenzie is mostly a last name. but if you use it as a first name ,it does sound cute like a little girls name. A nick name would be -Kenzie or something like that. the name MCKenzie if not a last name is hardly ever used by boys in America. It really is used as a girls name that is consider a femine cute name.yes I know the orgin of it. but doesnt change the fact It'sounds like a cute girls name and mostly is used by cute little girls when used as a 1st name. Ive met many girls with the name McKenzie but would feel kind of sorry to name a boy a cutie name like that.

Our oldest son is named Mackenzie and it suits him perfectly. It's a great strong name with a lot of heritage and history behind it, and we definitely see it as a much better boys name, as anyone who researched names and meanings could see ;) We live in NY state and it's still a pretty rare name in our area. I think we only know of 2 boys and 2 girls with the name. Our son prefers to go by the full name Mackenzie so far and doesn't generally go by a nickname. Just of the top of my head some other better-known men named Mackenzie are: actors Mackenzie Astin and Mackenzie Crook, Canada's 5th Prime Minister Sir Mackenzie Bowell, and artist Mackenzie Thorpe.

My little sis's name is mackenzie. I love the way that it has the c because It'seems more filled out. I'v heard that people think that this name doesn't "fit" a child when'they are little but I disagree. While, the name may seem "big" when'they are little, it will "fit" as they grow older. In the mean time, the name can be shorted to Kenzie (like my sis) or Mac (like a girl i know from school) Unitl the name "fits". Regarding a nickname, if you use a funner nickname, Kenzie for example, you have the benifit of saying Mackenzie ---- -----!! When'they are in trouble, or even just their complete first name. Well that's all i have to say about the name "Mackenzie".

When my mother was pregnant with me, she fell in a snow bank by the Makenzie river during a road trip. Thinking it was a sign, because the river is one of the strongest wild and free waterfronts in the north, she thought her child should be the the same. My dad`s bad spelling is why there`s no C oppose to everyone else's. But I absolutely love the name! When I was younger It was hard because everyone had the same names (emily, kayla, ect.) and I was always an outsider. I stumbled on the site and it`s just nice to know theres lots of Makenzies out there, and it`s cool because the name sets us apart

The'surname of American actor John Wayne (formerly Marion Michael Morrison) and of the fictional Bruce Wayne, alter-ego of Batman. Though this is no longer in fashion as a male name, it does sound innovative when used for a girl, in part as an alternative to the totally outmoded Jayne, a Fifties relic which is stuck in the Jayne Mansfield era.

I'm a male with the name Mackenzie living in the U.S. I always get weird looks from substitute teache's when'they call out attendance and I raise my hand. Sometimes I get the question, "You're Mackenzie❤️" as if it were unbelievable or something. And sometimes people call me "Kenzie" to be patronizing. I know how to deal with it now, but if you live in the U.S. and are considering naming your son Mackenzie, be prepared for the ignorant remarks like, "Mackenzie's a GIRL'S name", and the whole social stI'ma that comes from it. But I do feel rather unique, its better than Michael, James, Benjamin, or other way too common male names.

My name is Mackenzie, and it is amazing to have, people often compliment me on it. It is common enough that everyone will know how to pronounce it, and uncommon enough that you will rarely run into someone with your name. I have only met 3 people with the'same name. There is thousands of unique nicknames I have, and It's amazing. However, my one warning is that people will mistakenly capitalize the "K" in "Mackenzie".

Don't people care about the meaning of names anymore❤️ Why do people name their baby'something just because it "sounds cute❤️" That's very superficial! The name is a SURNAME, people! a SURNAME!! It means SON of Kenzie. Not only that, but its too trendy as a girl's name anyways. What is this trend with giving girls surnames as given names❤️ It's ANNOYING. It's appropriate for dogs, maybe, but not people. The name Mac means SON OF. How many of you out there would name your daughter "Sonofkenzie❤️" Wel that's what You're doing. This surname-as-a-girls-name is going to go down n history as a horrible trend, like lava lamps, bellbottoms, and flock of seagulls hair.

My 9 year old daughter's name is Mackenzie Nicole, and even'though I had her name picked out long before she came along, I still cannot think of a name that better'suits her. She is the only Mackenzie in her grade, on her'soccer team, and in her dance classes, so I think I chose something both unique and beautiful to capture my child. When she was a baby, I called her Kenzie Doodle, which my father'still calls her. Most people call her Kenzie, but my fiancee calls her Mac, and It'seems like he is the only person allowed to use it. Now that'she is older, I find myself having to use her full name to get her attention!!!

Hi, We named our daughter Mackenzie, and I love it..It's a nice strong name and I can't imagine calling her anything else. I'must say that I also like the alternate spelling MaKenzy, as a previous person posted. We haven't shortened it to a nickname..however, her grandfather calls her Kenzie...personally I don't want my daughter nicknamed Mac... and I would never call my daughter Mac and Che'se..I don't capitalize the k..and some people get that part of the'spelling incorrect..

Hi! I am a Mackenzie! I used to HATE my name,but I grew to love it! It is the most unique name there is in my state! I am the only one who has it, I only know one other: Mackenzie Philips ( the actress). A lot of my teache's and friends misspell it, my close friends are addicted to it, and whenever they speak to me they say it, for example: "Mackenzie,i've the'same shirt" or "Mackenzie, I love my math teacher!" its pretty funny. I love my nickname most though, Kenzie, or kenz, or some spell kenzie like kenzii. the double "i" thing looks cute ,and unique. Since my name is 9 letters long, on school lists, they put my name as "Kenz" which cracks me up. I say named your child Mackenzie! I get compliments a lot! It also increases how much people like you, good way to suck up to bosses, haha.

MacKenzie means "son of the wise king". Mac is the gaelic word for son so yes it is supposed to be a boys name. Just unknowing American mother follow trends without doing their homework. Whats truly sad are the baby books that'say it means "child of a wise ruler". So very politically INCORRECT.

We named our son Mackenzie and so far he's still happy with it. I even asked him once if he ever felt like he'd like to change it and he'said "Nope, I like it. It's unique."

Times when Alfred Hitchcock showed his infamous side, but he wasn't the only one who ruined this terminally old-fashioned grandad name. The creator of the 'Batman' comic strips, Bob Kane, gave the name Alfred to Batman's (or Bruce Wayne's) elderly manservant butler, which a lot of people have associated the name with over the years. Personally, the name is in'the'same category as Albert, Leonard, Percy, Norman, Frank, Horace, and Arthur.
