My judge; combination of Kenneth and Daniel
Kenniel is a modern invented name, likely created by blending the Scottish name Kenneth with the Hebrew name Daniel. It retains the 'God is my judge' meaning from the Daniel suffix while adopting the phonetic appeal of contemporary 'K' names. It is particularly popular in Spanish-speaking communities as a unique alternative to more traditional biblical names.
