Eneko

Meaning of Eneko

Eneko is a warm Basque name for boys, pronounced eh-NEH-koh, that literally means “my little one” and carries the affectionate spirit of close-knit families. Rooted in medieval Navarre, it once crowned Eneko Arista as a brave leader, giving the name both heart and heroism. Though still rare in the United States—hovering around the 900s in popularity with just a handful of new Enekos each year—it sparkles like a little jewel of tradition in any birth announcement. Much like Indian parents treasure names that tell a story, Basque families have always celebrated Eneko as an endearing reminder of love and loyalty. It’s a name that dances off the tongue with playful energy, yet settles softly in the heart, promising a child whose presence feels like a bright ember in a festival night.
