Kinnick is an Irish given name derived from the Gaelic word "Cionnaith," meaning "intelligent" or "wise." It was once popular among early Celtic tribes and carried through history by notable figures like Cináed mac Conaing of Connacht in the 8th century, and Cináed III, King of Scotland in the mid-9th century. Today, Kinnick is a rare but distinctive name that carries its historical meaning of intelligence and wisdom.
