How to Name Your Baby After Your Grandpa

While Kendrix is predominantly used on boys — likely owing to its musical namesakes, Kendrick Lamar and Jimi Hendrix — the most noteworthy Kendrix (as yet) is in fact Kendrix Morgan, also known as the Pink Galaxy Ranger from the Power Rangers franchise.
 
A name with multiple origins, Kendrix derives from the Welsh Cynwrig meaning "champion", the Anglo-Saxon Cyneric, meaning "royal ruler", the Scottish surname, MacEanraig, meaning "son of Henry", and from Hendrik, a variation Henry meaning "home ruler".
 
Used very quietly on girls since the early 2010s, Kendrix might appeal to those looking for something unexpected but with the same feel as Phoenix, Collins, and Kennedy.

This modern mash up of Kendrick and Hendrix felt almost bound to happen. Perfect for parents wanting something cool and contemporary but also familiar, Kendrix has in fact been quietly used since the 70s. Given to 145 baby boys in 2024, up from 110 the year before, the increased popularity of the name is likely owing to rock musician Jimi Hendrix, rapper Kendrick Lamar, and (female) Power Ranger, Kendrix Morgan. 
 
Kendrick derives from the Welsh Cynwrig meaning "champion", the Anglo-Saxon Cyneric, meaning "royal ruler", and the Scottish and Gaelic surname, MacEanraig, meaning "son of Henry", or "son of the home ruler". Hendrix meanwhile comes from Hendrik, a variation of Heinrich and Henry, again meaning "home ruler", so it might make most sense to associate this hybrid name with this meaning in particular.
