"one"
The name Kenichi is commonly a male name from the "Japanese" origin that means "one".
Kenichi is a Japanese masculine given name. It is built from an initial element read ken, written with various characters from name to name, plus ichi, normally the character meaning "one". Because the ken element differs between bearers, the name has no single fixed meaning; its sense depends on the characters used to write it. The same -ichi ending appears in other Japanese masculine names such as Koichi and Shinichi.
The pronunciation of Kenichi is ken-EE-chee.
