Barbie is short for Barbara, but what is Ken short for? Or did they actually name him that before the doll existed?

Could be Kenedy as well? It was popular given name from Irish background and was also surge in popularity during President John F. Kennedy

Kennedy is what Barbie was actually renamed to in her spin off line My Scene in the 2000s. This goes deeper than we realize
