Kenneth is a given name of Gaelic origin, and it is an Anglicized form of two distinct Gaelic personal names: Cainnech and Cináed. The modern Gaelic form of Cainnech is Coinneach, which is derived from a byname meaning "handsome" or "comely". The second part of the name Cináed is derived either from the Celtic *aidhu, meaning "fire," or else Brittonic jʉ:ð, meaning "lord". The name Kenneth has a rich history, with its origins in the ancient cultures of Scotland and Ireland. The name Kenneth has been borne by several notable figures, such as the Scottish king Kenneth (Cináed) mac Alpin, who united the Scots and Picts in the 9th century. The name was popularized outside of Scotland by Sir Walter Scott, who used it for the hero in his 1825 novel "The Talisman". Another famous bearer of the name was the British novelist Kenneth Grahame, who wrote "The Wind in the Willows". Today, the name Kenneth remains popular, with a meaning that can be translated as "fire born" or "good-looking".
