The name Mikenna is a beautiful and unique choice for a baby girl. Pronounced as mih-KEN-uh (/mɪˈkɛnə/), it is often seen as a variation of the more common name McKenna. The name has Irish origins, derived from the Gaelic surname Mac Cionaoith, which means "son of Cionaodh." Over time, Mikenna has evolved into a first name that exudes modern charm while retaining its rich cultural heritage.
Mikenna has been gradually gaining popularity in the United States over the past few decades. Although not among the most common names, it has consistently appeared in national statistics since 1985. Its highest rank was in 2003 when it reached 2610th place with 61 occurrences. Despite its relatively low ranking, Mikenna's rarity contributes to its appeal for parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name for their daughters.
With its melodic sound and historical roots, Mikenna is associated with strength and individuality. This makes it an excellent choice for parents who want their child's name to stand out while still carrying a touch of tradition.
