Mackenzie's Notebook is a lined journal with one name on the cover, hers. The name sits in flowing script above a soft pink watercolor apple blossom design.
Mackenzie comes from a Scottish surname. Behind the Name says it is the anglicized form of the Gaelic MacCoinnich, from the given name Coinneach, and Wikipedia explains that it means “son of Coinneach”, or Kenneth. In North America it is mostly a girls’ name, while in the UK it is more common for boys.
Behind the Name lists Kenzie as the short form of Mackenzie, and Makenzie and McKenzie as other spellings. Kenzie is the everyday favorite; Australian goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold goes by Macca.
Mackenzie Phillips played Carol in American Graffiti and Julie on One Day at a Time. Mackenzie Foy played Renesmee in Breaking Dawn – Part 2 and young Murph in Interstellar, which won her a Saturn Award. And Mackenzie Arnold is the Matildas goalkeeper; she has played for Perth Glory, Brisbane Roar, West Ham United and Portland Thorns, and was in Australia’s squad for the 2015 World Cup.
Mackenzie grew up in the 1990s. US Social Security data has it at 96th in the 1990s, then 49th in the 2000s, when more than 54,000 American girls were named Mackenzie, and 80th in the 2010s. Behind the Name shows it in the top 100 in New South Wales and New Zealand in 2025, so there are plenty of young Mackenzies in Australia too.
Mackenzie Phillips is the reason so many girls are called Mackenzie. Wikipedia says her middle name honored Scott MacKenzie, a friend and bandmate of her father John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas, and her role on One Day at a Time in 1975 lifted the name from obscurity.
This is a notebook for every kind of Mackenzie: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Mackenzie’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
How big is Mackenzie’s Notebook? The notebook measures 6 x 9 inches (roughly 15 x 23 cm) and has 160 lined pages.
