Kincaid

With its courageous connotations and cool-kid appeal, the masculine name Kincaid will instill strength and confidence in your little warrior. This Gaelic title has rich Scottish roots and comes from the place name Kincaith, a settlement near Glasgow that was first documented in the early 13th century. Kincaid’s first syllable derives from the word ceann, which means “head” in Gaelic. When combined with the words caithe, meaning “pass,” or catha, meaning “battle,” Kincaid can be interpreted in two distinct ways. The name could translate to “head of the pass,” referring to a steep height. If baby is born to lead, they’ll love their name’s other possible meaning, “head of the battle.”
