Kenrik

Kenrik is a boy’s name with English, Welsh, and Irish origins. It is an alternate spelling of Kendrick, which stems from the Old English names Cyneric and Cenric. These names mean “royal power” and “bold power.” Alternatively, Kenrik comes from the Welsh name Cynwrig, which means “chief hero.” It may also derive from the Irish last name Mac Eanraig, which means “son of Henry.” This name has gained popularity in recent years with the rise of Kendrick Lamar, the legendary Compton rapper with a distinctive flow and clever lyrics. Baby Kenrik may be a wordsmith like their namesake, and can always remember to be bold as they learn and grow.
