[Surname] Origin and meaning of the name KENTIE
Hello,

Can you help me with information about the origin and meaning of this surname? A Scottish ancestor had the surname Kenti (about the year 1650). There are many theories about the possible origin, but all theories are questionable. Like:
- relation with the surname MacKenzie (not very probable)
- surname Canty, Kent etc.
- a Polish town called Kentie (a Polish saint had this name)
- the first name Kenti is a short form of the first name Innokenti, which is the Russian form of the first name Innocentius.
- etc.
