Kenley is a gender-neutral name of Gaelic origin. Its Scottish and Irish roots lend Kenley the meanings “white warrior,” “fair warrior,” and “blessed warrior” as a form of McKinley from Mac Fhionnlaigh. Also flaunting British origins, Kenley is the name given to a residential suburb in southwest London and may mean “royal meadow” or “royal woodland.” Baby Kenley can share their namesake with a popular English neighborhood, stand tall and heroic for the ones they love, and emulate the flourishing blooms of a regal pasture.
