Kenyon Family History
Kenyon Name Meaning
English (Lancashire): habitational name from a place near
Warrington, which is of uncertain etymology. There was formerly an
ancient burial mound there and Ekwall has speculated that the name is
a shortened form of a British name composed of the elements
cruc ‘mound’ + a personal name cognate with Welsh
Einion (see Eynon).Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic
Mac Coinín ‘son of Coinín’, a byname based on a
diminutive of cano ‘wolf’, also Anglicized as
Cunneen. The similarity to coinín ‘rabbit’, a later
borrowing, has also caused it to be ‘translated’ as rabbit.
