Meaning & Story
A modern feminine name possibly derived from Scottish Gaelic meaning 'born of fire' or a variant of Kenna meaning 'handsome' — bright, warm, and quietly strong.
Kenna has a warm, contemporary feel that sits naturally between traditional Scottish names and modern American favorites. It might derive from the Gaelic meaning 'born of fire' or from a root meaning 'handsome' and 'graceful.' For a female dog with a glowing quality — warm personality, bright eyes, a coat that catches the light — Kenna is a name that honors both her inner fire and her outward grace. She's the sun at the center of her household's solar system.
