Kennette is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. It is derived from the English surname Kenney, which itself is an anglicized form of the Irish Gaelic name Ó Ceannéide, meaning "descendant of Ceannéid," with Ceannéid translating to "old chief" or "ancient hero." This makes Kennette a name with strong historical and cultural roots.
"The name Kennette saw a peak in popularity during the late 1960s to early 1970s, with 9 births recorded both in 1964 and 1965. However, it appears that this popularity did not sustain, as there were only 5 births recorded each year between 1967 and 1982. The name saw another slight increase in the late 1970s to early 1980s, with peaks of 8 births in 1979 and 10 births in 1982."
