Etymology

From Middle Welsh eneit (“spirit, life”), from Proto-Celtic *ana-ti̯o-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (“to breathe, blow”). Cognate with Gaulish anatia (“souls”) attested on the Larzac tablet, see also the modern Welsh anadl (“breath, wind”).[1] Alternatively, Enid may be derived from Enaid or Enit, meaning "woodlark".[2]
