Enid is Welsh in Origin.
Enid is a Welsh feminine name from enaid, meaning “soul” or “life,” with connotations of spirit and purity. The standard modern form settled as Enid via Middle Welsh eneit/enaid. Related forms include the medieval French Enide (in Arthurian romance), and medieval Welsh spellings vary across manuscripts; the cognate noun enaid survives in modern Welsh.
The name entered wider European consciousness through the Mabinogion tale “Geraint and Enid” and Chrétien de Troyes’s “Erec et Enide,” then enjoyed a strong Victorian revival after Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King.” Usage peaked in the early 20th century in Britain, the United States, and Wales, and later declined, though it now retains a vintage, literary aura. Notable bearers include children’s author Enid Blyton and novelist Enid Bagnold.
