Meaning & origin
Enrigue is an extremely rare given name in the United States, essentially an alternate spelling of Enrique. According to Social Security data, it first appeared on record in 1920 and reached its highest usage in 1982, though it has never entered the top 1000. Its trajectory has been stable, meaning annual counts remain very low, and it has shown no sign of revival. With no top states recorded, its use is scattered, likely influenced by Spanish-language heritage. As a variant of a well-established name, Enrigue offers a distinctive path within a familiar tradition.
Enrigue is a rare spelling variant of Enrique, the Spanish form of Henry, derived from the Germanic name Heimirich, meaning 'home ruler' (from heim 'home' + rih 'ruler'). It has been used in Spanish-speaking communities, though this particular spelling is uncommon. Its peak usage occurred in 1982, and it has remained stable at very low frequency.
