Kennt Origin and Meaning

The name Kennt is a boy's name.

Kennt is an unusual masculine name that may have several possible origins. It could be a variant spelling of Kent, which derives from the Old English place name meaning 'border' or 'coastal district.' Alternatively, it might be related to Kenneth, a name of Scottish and Irish Gaelic origin meaning 'handsome' or 'born of fire.' The unusual double 'n' and 't' spelling suggests it could also be a creative modern variation or have origins in a non-English language. Kennt has a strong, compact sound with its single syllable and consonant ending. The name is quite rare in usage statistics and historical records, making it a very distinctive choice. Its brevity gives it a contemporary feel despite potentially having traditional roots.
