Enid (given name)
Enid ( ; (:ˈɛnɨ̞d)) is a feminine given name, the origin of which is Middle Welsh ''eneit'', meaning "purity", literally "soul" (from Proto-Celtic ''
*ana-ti̯o-'', compare Gaulish ''anatia'' "souls (?)" attested on the Larzac tablet, ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root ''
*h₂enh₁-'' "to breathe, blow"; ''cf.'' the modern Welsh ''anadl'', "breath" or "wind").〔"Enid." Online Etymology Dictionary. Douglas Harper. Retrieved 1 January 2013. .〕 Enid was a character in Alfred Lord Tennyson's Arthurian epic ''Idylls of the King'' (1859) and its medieval Welsh source, the ''Mabinogi'' tale of ''Geraint and Enid''; according to ''The Facts on File Dictionary of First Names'' (1983),
"Enid drifted into use after publication of () poem, and did not become firmly established until the 1890s. At its most popular in Britain in the 1920s, then began to fade slowly. Always rare elsewhere. Helena Swan once remarked that it was the greatest possible compliment for a woman to be called ‘a second Enid’, since the original was the perfect example of spotless purity."
