Enright

/ɛnˈraɪt/ proper noun

Definition

A surname of Irish origin, or a place name; not a common word with a standard definition.

Etymology

From Irish 'O'nRíogáin,' derived from 'rí' (king), meaning 'descendant of the king.' The anglicized form 'Enright' emerged through immigration.

Kelly Says

Enright is primarily known as a family name with medieval Irish royal roots—the 'O' prefix indicated nobility before English conquest of Ireland changed naming patterns.
