Machenzie is of Scottish origin, meaning 'son of Kenneth'. It is derived from the Gaelic name 'Coinneach', which means 'handsome' or 'fair-skinned'. This given name was popularized by Scottish novelist Walter Scott through his historical novel 'The Bride of Lammermoor'. The name Machenzie gained further prominence in North America during the 20th century, often used as a unisex name.
"Interesting that the name Mackenzie was born to exactly five babies in just one year, 1993."
