Meaning & origin
Eneida is a rare feminine name first recorded in the United States in 1951, with its peak usage in 1966. The name has never ranked in the top 1,000, and its trajectory has remained stable, with no recent resurgence. It is most likely a Spanish or Portuguese feminine form of the Latin Aeneas, the name of the Trojan hero from Virgil's Aeneid. The name's obscurity gives it a distinctive, literary quality, but it has not seen widespread adoption. No state has recorded significant usage of Eneida, reflecting its niche appeal.
The name Eneida likely derives from the Latin Aeneas, the name of the Trojan hero from Virgil's Aeneid. It has been used in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking cultures as a feminine form, and also appears in Georgia as a given name. The name remains rare in the United States, with sporadic usage since the 1950s.
