“Possibly champion or royal ruler”
Kendrix is a modern name, read today as a blend of Kendrick and Hendrix and quietly in use since the 1970s. Its root, Kendrick, has disputed origins: possibly from the Welsh Cynwrig, meaning 'champion', the Anglo-Saxon Cyneric, meaning 'royal ruler', or the Scottish and Gaelic surname MacEanraig, 'son of Henry'.
