Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Kynlee

Kynlee is the cutesy Americanized respelling of Kinley, both of which are 21st century name inventions most likely inspired by the Scottish surname McKinley. McKinley is essentially an anglicized version of the Gaelic “MacFhionnlaigh” meaning son of a “white skinned warrior” from the elements “fionn” (fair, white skinned) and “laoch” (warrior). Both Kinley and Finley are ultimately derived from MacFhionnlaigh. The surname was perhaps coined in reference to the Norsemen (those pesky Vikings who kept raiding the British Isles). McKinley is also occasionally found in Ireland as Mac an Leagha, meaning the son of a physician or medicine man. In the United States, the surname McKinley was held by the 25th U.S. President and a namesake mountain located in Alaska (which was later renamed Denali). Aside from Kynlee’s connection to Kinley (which is basically a truncated version of McKinley), Kynlee also owes her usage to other “kutesy” K names which are all the rage in American today: Kaitlyn, Kaylee, Kylee, Kailyn, Karlee, Kallie, Kayden, etc. Kynlee also follows this example.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME KYNLEE

Kynlee is pretty new to the American naming charts. Kinley showed up in 2006 and has soared to the Top 200 list in less than ten years, so we were not surprised to see the alternate spelling of Kynlee follow in her footsteps in 2010. This particular spelling isn’t heavily used but it’s gained enough circulation to achieve Top 1000 status. Kynlee is one of those “kreative” spellings that appeal to certain circles, not to mention the “-lee” suffix really gives the name that kutesy, youthful style. Such names are very relaxed and informal in a non-traditional way. Many parents like to differentiate their children with made-up spellings that add a little extra flair and flavor. The only thing to beware of is that 1) a lot of people find these types of names a bit too saccharine-sweet, and 2) odd spellings require name bearers to constantly confirm and reconfirm the spelling of their name throughout their life time (which some would argue can be a nuisance).
