One name that we absolutely love but seems to be overlooked by many parents-to-be is the perfect choice for a summer baby for nature-loving parents.
Are you on the hunt for the perfect Irish baby name for your new arrival?
Finding an Irish name for your little one can be challenging - parents often want something a bit unusual, but because Irish names have become so popular recently, this can be quite challenging.
If this sounds familiar to you then we have a perfect option – one name in particular is not so unusual that it will be confusing, but it was given to less than 100 babies in 2024.
If you want an Irish name that isn’t the same as every other baby boy’s but still sounds traditional, then Éanna could be a perfect choice.
Meaning of the name Éanna
The name Éanna, pronounced ay-nah, is of Irish origin and means “bird-like."
It comes from the Irish word for bird – éan.
It is also related to the Irish name Enda, which means “like a bird."
Popularity of the name Éanna
The name Éanna has been used as a given name in Ireland for years, but you may not know anyone called it as it has never really soared in popularity. Which is a pity because it is definitely the type of name that suits all ages, from newborn babies to fully grown men - and isn’t that the goal when choosing a baby name?
The name was virtually unused until 2018, when it was the 138th most popular name in the country, and it has slowly risen since then. In 2023, it broke into the top 100 most popular names in Ireland, but in 2024, it fell again, placing at number 112 on the list.
