Anglicization of the Gaelic Coinneach or Cainnech, meaning "handsome and fiery". In recent times, the name Kenneth has lost some of its integrity due to a character named Kenneth, played by Jack McBrayer, who is largely a buffoon on the show "30 Rock". Despite this oversight, Kenneth is generally a proud or confident man, usually of apparent Celtic and/or Germanic origins, who is as quick to temper as he is to celebrate. Traditionally, neither the anger nor the generosity of Kenneth may be understated, as both are defining characteristics. In smaller circles, however, the word Kenneth is used as a pseudonym for an enforcer or someone of a similar type who uses intimidation tactics, physical or otherwise, to achieve a desired result. A Kenneth will sometimes work with a Matthew.
