Kenneith is an uncommon name of English origin, derived from the medieval name Kenelm, which was popular among the Anglo-Saxons. It is composed of two elements: 'cyning', meaning 'king', and 'helm', signifying 'helmet'. Thus, Kenneith translates to 'king's helmet', suggesting a strong and protective nature associated with the name. Over time, this name has fallen out of favor and is rarely used today, making it quite distinctive for those who do bear it.
The name Kenneith appears to have been most popular between the years 1955 and 1966, with a peak of 13 births in 1959. After that period, the number of births steadily decreased, with the majority of years having only 5 or 6 births each. The total number of births over this time span is 219.
