Kensington is associated with the meaning “Royal town of Cynsige's people” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Kensington comes from Old English and means "the town of Cynesige's people," where Cynesige was a personal name meaning "royal victory." The suffix "-ton" simply means settlement or town. It is a place name first, a personal name second, rooted entirely in the Anglo-Saxon language of early medieval England.
