Kennedy is a name of Irish origin, derived from the Gaelic word "Cennétig", which means "helmeted". It was originally a surname before becoming a given name. The most famous bearer of this name is John F. Kennedy, who served as the President of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. However, the name has been used for centuries prior to that and continues to be popular today. It is often spelled in various ways such as Kenney, Kennady, Kennedie, etc. Despite its Irish roots, Kennedy has gained popularity worldwide and is now commonly used in many different cultures and countries.
"Did you know that the name Kennedy has been consistently popular over the years? According to U.S. birth records, there were five babies named Kennedy each year in both 2005 and 2013. That's a total of ten little Kennedys being born and welcomed into families across America during those two years!"
