In Irish and Scottish Gaelic tradition, a person who is disinherited or cast out from their family or clan.
From Old Irish and Scottish Gaelic 'ine' (absence, negation) plus 'clan' (family, tribe). The term reflects the legal and social practices of Celtic societies regarding inheritance and tribal membership.
The concept of 'eneclann' reveals how seriously ancient Celtic societies took family bonds—being declared an eneclann wasn't just a personal rejection, it was a complete legal erasure from your identity.
