Enyd Origin and Meaning
The name Enyd is a girl's name.
Enyd is a feminine name likely derived from Enid, which has Welsh origins in mythology and literature. The name appears in the Arthurian legends as Geraint's faithful wife and means 'life' or 'soul' in Welsh. This uncommon spelling variant with a 'y' instead of 'i' gives the traditional name a distinctive quality while maintaining its Celtic heritage. Enyd carries an air of medieval romance and literary sophistication. The name's brevity combined with its mythological connections creates a balance between simplicity and depth. Though rare in usage, Enyd appeals to parents drawn to Welsh names and Arthurian legends who seek something slightly different from the more conventional Enid spelling.
