Meaning & origin
Enma is a modern, rare name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1994. It has been on a slow but steady upward trajectory since at least 2004, reaching its peak rank of 5,917 in 2025, where it was given to roughly 1 in 80,363 baby girls. The name's origin is unclear; it may be a creative spelling of the classic Emma, or a standalone modern invention. Enma has not yet appeared in any state's top name lists, reflecting its rarity.
Enma is a name of uncertain origin. It may be a variant spelling of Emma, which derives from the Germanic word 'ermen' meaning 'whole' or 'universal'. Alternatively, it could be a modern invented name, perhaps influenced by the fashionable -ma suffix seen in names like Alma or Thelma. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1994 and has seen a slow but steady rise in usage since the early 2000s.
