Eanraig Origin and Meaning

The name Eanraig is a boy's name of Scottish Gaelic origin.

Eanraig is a masculine Gaelic form of Henry, primarily found in Scottish culture. The name derives from the Germanic elements 'haim' meaning 'home' and 'ric' meaning 'ruler' or 'power'. In traditional Scottish Gaelic naming conventions, Eanraig would be pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable. While not commonly used in modern times, it represents an important connection to Celtic heritage and Scottish linguistic traditions. The name carries connotations of leadership and authority, reflecting its original meaning of 'home ruler'. Eanraig remains relatively rare, even in Scotland, making it a distinctive choice that honors Gaelic cultural roots.
