History & Origin
Enijah is a coined American girl's name that echoes Elijah and sits in the -nijah family with Anijah and Amijah. Its appeal is the fashionable -ijah sound rather than an inherited meaning, an inventive name of the two-thousands when -ijah endings crossed freely between boys and girls.
Enijah was always rare in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 2008. A girl named Enijah then is in her late teens today, so the name still reads as young.
