Enola Origin and Meaning
The name Enola is a girl's name .
Enola was a precursor of Nevaeh: It's "alone" spelled backwards. But the name Enola is newly in the spotlight thanks to a Netflix film.
For decades, Enola was known only as the name of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Enola Gay. Not very positive.
More recently, Enola has achieved some notice as the name of Sherlock Holmes' (fictional) younger sister, not a character in the original books by Arthur Conan Doyle but in the series by Nancy Springer, now a film on Netflix. This may make Enola a name worth consideration.
