Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Kenley

The female given name Kenley is a brand new coinage, barely five years old and apparently only used in the United States. We do know that there is a district in Greater London, England called Kenley but it seems doubtful that the name was inspired by this place name. Rather, it seems more plausible that American parents created the name as an updated version of Kendall, Kendra or Kenna (like Kenzie), or else it was inspired by the ϋber-trendy Kennedy. In any case, as an invented name, Kenley has no known meaning.
