Ancient root and name story

Origin: Irish. Meaning: from a surname meaning "descendant of Cennétig." Kennedy began as an Anglicized form of the Irish Gaelic Ó Cinnéidigh and is now used as a given name for girls and boys.

The old byname Cennétig has an uncertain interpretation, read either as "armoured head" or "misshapen head." Because the meaning is disputed, it should not be reduced to a settled sense such as "helmeted chief."

The name also carries modern honour associations, including with John F. Kennedy and later feminine popularization linked to Lisa Kennedy Montgomery. These are matters of modern reception and public figures, separate from the surname's Gaelic origin.
