Meaning: Kernel, grain; Little fire

Enya, as a girl's name, is of Irish origins and means “kernel” or “grain.” Enya is the Anglicized version of Eithne and was popularized by the Irish singer of the same name. It can also be linked to Aidan, signifying “little fire.” One St. Eithne, known as “of the golden hair,” was the daughter of Leoghaire, Ard Rí of Ireland, when St. Patrick first visited. Today, Enya is a much-loved classic along the Emerald Aisle and is sure to put fire in the belly of your little one.
