Pronunciation of McKenna in North Kerry.
In North Kerry, McKenna is pronounced as if its Irish spelling were "Mac an Átha." The uncited entry of "Mac Ginea" in the lede looks like an estimate of the North Kerry pronunciation. I don't have an entry in my Irish dictionary for "Ginea." Gortaleen (talk) 15:11, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Lack of references
The first paragraph suggests the surname is Irish but there is no reference to prove it. Need some evidence to back up the claim 2A00:23C4:CB01:6701:845F:8278:2C31:BCE3 (talk) 14:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
