Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

V anglickom prostredí je Ken najmä skrátenou podobou mena Kenneth. Kenneth je poangličtená podoba dvoch rozdielnych gaelských mien: Coinneach, odvodeného od výrazu vo význame „pekný, pôvabný“, a Cináed, ktorého výklad sa tradične spája s ohňom. V japončine je Ken samostatné meno; jeho význam závisí od zvolených znakov kandži.
