Mackenzie derives from the Scottish Gaelic name MacKenzie, meaning "son of Kenneth" or "son of Coinneach," where "Mac" means "son of" and Kenneth comes from the Gaelic "Coinneach" meaning "handsome" or "fair." The name originated in the Scottish Highlands and became widespread in Scotland and English-speaking countries, particularly in North America, with notable historical use among Scottish clans and later adoption as a given name for both males and females in modern times.
