Royal or bright king
Kenroy is a modern compound name likely blending the Gaelic 'Ken' (meaning handsome or fire) or the Old English 'Ken' (meaning bright/knowledge) with the French-derived 'Roy' (meaning king). It is most frequently found in Caribbean communities, particularly Jamaica, as a distinctive rhythmic choice.
