MEANING & HISTORY
What does Kenot mean?
Kenot is explicitly formed from Ken with ot in Cebuano and qualified as familiar to Ken and Kenneth. The suffix creates a local personal form rather than a new English root.
Kenneth’s deeper history is not one universally settled compound, so the direct Ken relationship is the clearer account.
