Kensey is a distinctive and appealing given name of American origin. It is derived from the Irish surname Kennedy, which is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic 'Cinnéidigh'. The name's popularity has steadily grown since the mid-20th century, likely due to its unique sound and association with notable figures like U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
"Kensey has seen a steady increase in popularity throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with a significant spike between 1994 and 2007, reaching its peak in 2007 with 38 births. However, since then, it appears to have decreased gradually, with only 5 births recorded in 2021."
