ArchivesRe: Kilmeny
in reply to a message by Megan
Kilmeny appears as a placename meaning church of Eithne (Kil is a common prefix in Gaelic placenames)

I can't say much on its use as a first name though, other than perhaps it came from a surname spawned from the place? It does seem strange as a female name though.
