An uncommon pick — distinctive and rare.
Abbreviation of kilocycle.
Kc is a boy's and girl's baby name of modern American origin, used as an initialism given name — the letters K and C as a stand-alone name. Like JJ, TJ, and AJ, KC has a casual, nickname-as-name energy that has been a staple of American informal naming since the mid-20th century.
Kc was #2770 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #5324, but its charm endures.
