Enrigue is Spanish in Origin.

Enrigue is a rare Spanish given name, a variant spelling of Enrique ultimately derived from Latin Henricus and Old High German Heinrich (heim ‘home’ + rīk ‘ruler’). The core meaning is “ruler of the home/estate,” shared with Henry and its pan‑European cognates.

In Iberia the name spread through royal and saintly prestige, borne by Castilian kings Enrique II–IV and numerous nobles, and later embedded across Latin America. The Enrigue form appears sporadically in Mexican and U.S. Hispanic records, likely as an orthographic variant influenced by the surname Enrigue and by the visibility of Portuguese Henrique; it is often intended to be pronounced like Enrique. Notable variants and cognates include Enrique (standard Spanish), Henrique (Portuguese), Enric (Catalan), Enrico (Italian), Henri (French), Henry (English), Heinrich (German), and Henrik/Hendrik (Scandinavian/Dutch), plus Irish Anraí. Nicknames and related forms: Quique/Kike, Enri, Rique; feminine Enriqueta, Enrica, Henrietta/Henriette.
