Full Meaning of Kenza

Kenza is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “treasure”. It is derived from the K-N-Z root which is used seven times in the Quran. Kenza is also a Persian name for girls that means “intelligent”, “wise”, “philosopher”. Both the Quranic and the Persian meanings are acceptable.

And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience. (Quran 18:82)
