Kerensa is an enchanting and unique name of Cornish origin, derived from the Cornish word 'Kernow', which means 'West'. It is most often associated with Cornwall, a county in South West England known for its rugged coastline and rich history. Kerensa is also the name of a river that flows through Cornwall, adding to its connection with this picturesque region. The name has been used predominantly in Cornwall but has begun to gain recognition further afield due to its compelling sound and intriguing origin.
The name Kerensa experienced significant popularity between the late 1960s and mid-1980s, peaking with 30 births in both 1971 and 1974. However, it appears to have declined steadily since then, with only a handful of births recorded annually from the early 1980s onwards.
