Mackenzey is a unique and modern given name of American origin. It is believed to be a variant spelling of Mackenzie, which has gained popularity as a unisex name in recent years. The name Mackenzey is thought to be influenced by Scottish and Irish naming traditions, with 'Mackenzie' being derived from the Gaelic word 'Coinnich', meaning 'fair-haired'. However, unlike Mackenzie, there does not appear to be a direct historical or geographical association for the name Mackenzey. As such, it can be considered a more contemporary creation, designed to reflect current trends in naming practices.
The name Mackenzey reached its peak popularity between the years of 2005 to 2007 with a total of 47 births during those three years alone. However, it's notable that there was a significant drop in usage after 2009, with only 16 births recorded from 2010 to 2014. Overall, the name Mackenzey has been given to 170 newborns between 1996 and 2014.
