Makensie is a name of American origin, derived from the Scottish surname MacKenzie. It has gained popularity as a given name for girls in recent years, perhaps due to its unique spelling and sound, which sets it apart from more common names like Mackenzie. The name Makensie is composed of two elements: 'Mak-' which is believed to be derived from the Gaelic word 'maigh', meaning 'plain' or 'field', and '-ensie' which is a diminutive suffix. Thus, the name Makensie could be interpreted as meaning 'little plain dweller'. However, it's important to note that this interpretation may not reflect its true origin or intended meaning.
The name Makensie saw its peak popularity between the years of 1998 and 2001, with a particularly high number of 35 births recorded in 1998. However, after 2007, there was a significant decline in the number of babies named Makensie, with some years seeing as few as 7 births. Overall, between 1986 and 2020, there were a total of 692 children born with the name Makensie.
