Clear water or handsome
Kenn is primarily a shortened form of Kenneth, which derives from the Gaelic names Cainnech and Cináed. It carries the dual meanings of 'handsome' and 'born of fire,' though it is also associated with the Welsh word for 'clear water.' As a standalone name, it offers a mid-century feel with a modern, minimalist spelling.
