Ken
Short for Kenneth
Ken is a masculine given name, often short for Kenneth.
The name gained additional cultural currency from the Ken doll, Barbie's male companion since 1961, whose bland handsomeness made him a byword for conventional attractiveness: He's a real Ken. (Lowercase ken means range of knowledge.)
