History & Origin

Enedelia is a Spanish feminine name, most plausibly a form or relative of Enedina, a Greek-rooted name carried by an early Christian woman remembered among the martyrs. Its precise meaning is uncertain, so it is best read as a saintly Spanish name rather than assigned a confident gloss. It appears in United States records from around nineteen-thirty-one, peaked around nineteen-fifty-one, and stayed a rarity of a couple dozen girls a year.

The name belongs to the Spanish and Mexican American saintly name-stock, and an Enedelia of that peak would be elderly now. It stayed a heritage rarity in America, its meaning honestly uncertain beyond its likely link to Enedina.

Did you know? Enedina appears in early Christian tradition as a companion of the martyrs, which is how it entered the Spanish saintly name-stock.
