Mackenzie is a surname of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic 'Mac Coinnich,' meaning 'son of Kenneth.' Kenneth itself comes from the Gaelic name 'Cionaodh,' combining 'cion' (love) and 'aodh' (fire). Originally a male name, Mackenzie gained popularity as a female name in the late 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries. Its modern, unisex appeal and Scottish heritage make it a timeless choice.
