There's only one choice to consider when it comes to the perfect name to bestow upon your sweet bundle of joy. Ennis is a gender-neutral name of Celtic origin that means "island" or "one choice." As well as a charming given name, it is also a surname and place name of a town in the West of Ireland. Ennis came from the Irish word inis, meaning island, and was anglicized from the old Irish surname Ó hAonghuis. It has been a consistent favorite throughout the years, boasting an old Irish charm and staying fashionable enough for American actress Kirsten Dunst to choose the moniker for her firstborn child in 2018.
