Kenjin means "sage" (セージ) in Japanese.
I try to name most of my designs after family members, however "Sage", the name of my first son, is a very popular knitting pattern name! At the time of knitting the sample, my daughter was flying out to Japan (I received the yarn the day she flew out!) and therefore a Japanese name seemed appropriate.
