Meaning of Enya

Enya is a lyrical Irish name sprouting from the ancient Gaelic Eithne, which means “kernel” or “little fire.” It rolls off the tongue as EN-yah, bright and welcoming. She carries a Celtic breeze and a soulful (alma) warmth that feels kissed by morning sun. Thanks to the world-famous singer, this name shimmers with ethereal magic and island mystery. It’s simple, sweet and endlessly radiant—no tech update needed. For parents wanting a spark of history and corazón, Enya is an inspired choice.
