Enda is an Irish name--it's an anglicization of the Irish name Éanna. Éanna is popularly defined as meaning "bird-like," stemming from the Irish word éan meaning "bird." It's origins may be much older than that, though. There were at least 2 St. Eannas--I think one is the patron of the Aran islands. The name Enda is more popula rin the west of Ireland, I think.
