Archiveswhat is the meaning of and origin of this name.
I would like to know as much as possible about the name Enea. The origin of the name and the meaning of it. Where it is popular in use, and if it is used both as a girls name and a boys name. My daughter has this name, but I have discovered it is used in Italy as a boys name. It is not a common name here in Norway.

Where did you first hear of this name before you decided to give it to your daughter?
I have seen it as a boys name on several sites all of which say it means born ninth
