Enara Origin and Meaning

The name Enara is a girl's name of Basque origin meaning "swallow (bird)".

Warm and friendly in sound, with a stylish and nature-connected meaning, Enara comes from the Basque word for the agile bird species, the swallow. A popular choice in its native Basque country, and a familiar choice in Spain, it is rarely heard in the US, despite the popularity of Spanish variation, Ainara.

Given to just nine girls in a recent year (compared to the 270 called Ainara), Enara could work as an alternative to Nora, Elara, Wren, and Amara.
