What does the name Kinzlee mean?
Kinzlee is a spelling of Kinsley, pronounced the same way, so it shares Kinsley's meaning and origin.
Kinsley is an English surname from a place name, such as the village of Kinsley in West Yorkshire. Wiktionary analyses it as the Old English man's name Cyne, built on a word meaning 'royal', plus a possessive -s and leah, 'woodland clearing', so 'Cyne's clearing'. Wikipedia describes the girl's name as a transfer of the place name and surname, popular in the US since the 2000s. It is close in sound and form to Kingsley, which has a different first element, 'king'.

How sure is this? Probable. The leah element is certain; the personal-name first element is the dictionary analysis but not independently confirmed.
