Etymology 1
nb The precise origin of the given name is uncertain. It may be a pet form of female given names ending in -enna, -enne, -enni or -enny, or a variant of nb Ena female given name.“Enna”, Nordic Names.
Another possibility is that nb Enna represents a Nordic adaptation of German de Änne or de Änni, pet forms of de Anna. German de Änne is a variant of de Anna and de Anne. Under this analysis, the name ultimately derives from nb la-lat Anna female given name, from nb grc-koi Ἄννα Anna, from nb hbo חַנָּה Ḥannāh Hannah; grace, favour.
The name may alternatively derive from German short forms of compound names beginning in Ein- or Ern-.
