Mekenzie

Mekenzie is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variation of Mackenzie or McKenzie. Originally a Scottish surname meaning 'son of Kenneth,' Mackenzie transitioned to a given name in America during the late 20th century. The variant spelling Mekenzie emerged as parents sought more distinctive ways to personalize this popular name while maintaining its familiar pronunciation. The name gained modest attention in the 1990s and early 2000s, coinciding with the broader trend of surname-to-first-name conversions. While not as common as the traditional spelling, Mekenzie offers the same strong yet feminine qualities that attracted parents to the original. The 'Me-' beginning also creates a subtle personal quality, suggesting individuality and uniqueness.

Pronounced muh-KEN-zee.

As of October 2026, Mekenzie ranked #14967 in US births in 2019 SSA, peaked at #1947 in 2000.
