Fire; Little seed, kernel
Enya as a girl's name is of Irish origins and means "fire," "little seed," and "kernel." Enya is the anglicized version of Eithne and was popularized by the Irish singer of the same name. In Irish history, at least nine saints bore the name's iteration. One 6th-century St. Eithne was the mother of St. Columba, who was the Irish abbot credited for spreading Christianity to Scotland. Today, Enya is a much-loved classic along the Emerald Aisle and is sure to put fire in the belly of your little one.
