Kenroy

In most cases, this name is a combination of any name that starts with Ken- (such as Kendrick and Kenneth) with any name that contains -roy-, such as Roy, Royston and Leroy. However, there can also be cases where this name is derived from the obscure surname Kenroy, which occurs exclusively in the United States and is therefore most likely a corruption of the original surname. The original surname may have been Kinroy, which is similarly obscure and is exclusively found in the United Kingdom, which means that it may be of either Anglo-Saxon, Gaelic or Norman French origin.

Known bearers of this name include the Jamaican soccer player Kenroy Howell (b. 1993), the Vincentian former cricketer Kenroy Martin (b. 1979) and the Guyanese-born Sint Maartener cricketer Kenroy David (b. 1989).
