Mackensie is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Mackensie in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Mackensie in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Mackensie by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Mackensie ranks at #7,665. That means there are 7,664 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Mackensie.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Mackensie in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 64 women and girls named Mackensie, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 64 women and girls named Mackensie live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana and New York. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Mackensie. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Mackensie lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Mackensie and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Mackensie relative to its female population is Georgia. And even there, only one in 411,915 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Mackensie.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 8.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A and S are more common for girls' names.
With nine letters, the name Mackensie is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all girls' names start with an M, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the girls’ names starting with M is Mary.
If your name is Mackensie and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
