Keneth

US Popularity Rank: 12702

Origin: Scottish

Meaning: Handsome; Royal oath

Keneth is a title fit for royalty. A variation of Kenneth, Keneth has Irish and English roots and means “handsome” and “royal oath.” It may also be an anglicized version of the Scottish Coinneach and Cináed, which was the name of the Scots’ first king, Kenneth MacAplin. More recently, this masculine moniker has held a place in pop culture for decades, from fashion designer Kenneth Cole’s namesake brand to Barbie’s boy toy Ken. It even gives ‘90s alt-rock vibes in the form of R.E.M.’s iconic 1994 hit, “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?” Your little one is sure to vibrate at a high frequency and will be just as kind as they are handsome.
