Kenith is a unique and distinctive given name of English origin, derived from the ancient Anglo-Saxon word 'Cenwulf', which means 'bold warrior'. This name has been traditionally used more often among males than females, though it can be employed for either gender. It consists of five letters: K-e-n-i-t-h. The name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century and remains a lesser-used yet intriguing choice today.
The name Kenith experienced its peak popularity between 1920 and 1937, with over 20 births per year consistently throughout this period, reaching a high of 28 births in 1938. However, after the late 1940s, its popularity began to decline rapidly, with fewer than 25 births per year from 1950 onwards. In recent years, Kenith has been quite uncommon, with only a handful of births each year since 2006.
