Kennie by the numbers
In 2025, 4 babies in England and Wales were named Kennie. In the US, 5 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 37 babies in 1960, so it is a 1960s name that has since fallen a long way.
What we can tell you about Kennie
