German (mainly Saarland): variant of Kentzinger, a habitational name for someone from Kenzingen, a town near Emmendingen in Baden-Württemberg, or, alternatively, a derivative of Swiss German Küenzi (see Kuenzi ). This surname is also found in France, in both forms, Kentzinger (Alsace and Vosges), which is virtually non-existing in Germany, and Kinsinger (mainly Lorraine). Compare Kensinger .
History: This is the name of a Swiss Mennonite family, among the Mennonites in the US sometimes spelled Kensinger. The first known bearer of this name was Christian Kentsinger, a Mennonite whose name was recorded in this spelling in 1724 in the Palatinate, Germany. He was presumably born as Christ Küenzi 1658 in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. Among his descendants living in Germany the name soon became Kinsinger, while his oldest son Abraham may have been the immigrant Abraham Kensinger (see Kensinger ). Mennonite immigrants from this family, who immigrated to the US in the 19th century, bore the name Kinsinger and have retained it unchanged.
