Kenricks is a masculine name with English origins, derived from the medieval given name Kenrick. It combines elements of the Old English name 'Cyneric,' where 'cyne' means royal and 'ric' means power or ruler. The addition of the 's' at the end gives it a surname-like quality, possibly indicating 'son of Kenrick.' While relatively uncommon, Kenricks carries aristocratic connotations and projects strength and leadership. It may appeal to parents seeking a distinguished name with historical roots that remains uncommon in modern usage. The name shares similarities with more popular variants like Kendrick, which has seen increased usage in recent decades.
