Enola is a girl’s name of English origin. This clever name is an anadrome —or an ananym, if that strikes your fancy—reading as the word “alone” when reversed. You might choose this name to inspire baby’s headstrong independence, reminding them that they can always trust their own instincts. The name Enola has had a recent cultural boom thanks to the Netflix adaptation of The Enola Holmes Mysteries by Nancy Springer, which follows the adventures of Sherlock Holmes' precocious younger sister.
