Makenzie is traditionally a Scottish surname that has been adopted as a masculine given name. It derives from the Gaelic 'MacCoinnich,' meaning 'son of Coinneach' (Kenneth), which further translates to 'handsome' or 'fair one.' As a male name, Makenzie is less common than its use for girls, representing a case of a name that has shifted predominantly to feminine usage in recent decades. The masculine version maintains connections to Scottish heritage and clan traditions. While relatively uncommon for boys in contemporary naming patterns, Makenzie offers a distinctive option with historical roots and a modern sound that fits with other surname-style names for boys.
