A lot of people mistake this name with the Irish surname-turned-given-name Makenna (meaning "Son of Kenneth").

It's certainly better than McKenna, but not a lot. They're too similar, and a lot of ignorant parents will probably be thinking they just named their daughter a "unique" version of McKenna, when they just saddled her with an entirely different name all together.
