What does the name Kenzlie mean?
Kenzlie is a spelling of Kensley, pronounced the same way, so it shares Kensley's meaning and origin.
Kensley is a recent American girls' name, first recorded in the late 1980s. Wiktionary lists it as a surname from Old English and as a girls' name taken from the surname, but gives no further etymology. It looks like a blend in the style of Kinsley and Kendall, or a place-name form like Kensington, which Wiktionary explains as "estate associated with Cynesige." No source confirms Kensley's own meaning, so we do not give one.
How sure is this? Not documented. Wiktionary records the surname but not its meaning.
