Likely a modern variation of Kenneth or Quenay
Kenay is a rare contemporary name with ambiguous roots. It is often interpreted as a phonetic variant of the Scottish name Kenneth, meaning 'born of fire' or 'handsome,' or potentially linked to the Quechua word 'Quenay,' referring to a traditional flute. In a modern American context, it is frequently chosen for its unique sound and stylistic similarity to names like Kayden or Kenai.
