Kenzie Halliwell

Kenzie "Kenz"/"Z" Lynn Halliwell is a main character in The Halliwell Diaries series. Kenzie is the Whitelighter-Witch/Phoenix daughter of Chris Halliwell and Bianca Halliwell, the granddaughter of Piper Halliwell, cousin of Kennedy Mitchell and Kassandra Halliwell, and the second oldest of the new Charmed Ones. She is part of the Halliwell family tree of the Warren Line. She is also part of the Phoenix Coven from her late mother's side.

Being born a Whitelighter-Witch like her father, uncle, and aunt, Kenzie has the basic powers of a Witch and few abilities of a Whitelighter. As a Witch she has the ability to cast spells, brew potions, and scry for lost objects and people. As a Whitelighter, she has the ability to Orb and later Heal. Upon being awakened as one of the new Charmed Ones, Kenzie inherited the Wiccan powers of Molecular Immobilization, and later Molecular Combustion, the same powers as her late great-grandmother, Patricia Halliwell, and grandmother, Piper Halliwell. During her period of depression after Jeremy's death in Season Four, Kenzie awoke her Phoenix powers she inherited from her mother's side of the family. Even after Jeremy's resurrection at the end of the fourth season, Kenzie retained the ability to use bother her Charmed Powers, Whitelighter Powers and her Phoenix Powers, despite the latter appearing demonic in nature.

Etymology

 * Kenzie: A shortened variant of the name "Mackenzie". Scottish Gaelic Mac (“son of”) +‎ Kenzie (“the intelligent one" or possibly "the wise ruler”) or “the bright one/the one born of fire”. Possible alternate: Gaelic MacCoinneach (“Son of Kenneth”). Originally a surname, the family motto being “I shine, not burn.”
 * Lynn: A predominantly feminine given name in English-speaking countries. It is now more popular as a middle name than as a first name. It comes from Welsh, meaning "lake".
 * Halliwell: Derives from any of the several places named with the Old English pre 7th Century elements "halig" meaning "holy", plus "well(a)", a well or spring. These places include Halliwell in Lancashire, recorded as Haliwell circa 1200; Holwell in Dorset and Oxfordshire appearing respectively as Halegewelle and Haliwelle in the Domesday Book of 1086; Halwell and Halwill in Devonshire, recorded as Halgewilla in 1086, and Holywell in Northumberland, Kent, Cambridgeshire, and Cornwall.
