Meaning & Origin

The sharp, distinct quality of its ending — ending on a consonant gives it a firm, clear close — keeps the name compact and easy to pair with longer middle names or surnames.
Enix is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
