Kennings Well (Continued) 011.14 [continued from page 43]
called Saint Kennings, but "Saint" is considered an addition not belonging, in any way, to the name. There is no Saint of the name in the Calendar. some ascribe the origin of the name to the Tradition; others to a corruption of Coney - a Rabbit, or Cain - Gaelic, - the clear water. It is pronounced in the neighbourhood Kinnons, or Konnins. The authorities given agree more for sake of the mode given in the Church Records, than from any Knowledge of their own of the proper mode of spelling, or of the origin of the name.
