Enzo

Boy name · 209 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Enzo: 209 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 31 births in 2025.

Enzo began as a short form of names ending in '-enzo', like Lorenzo and Vincenzo, ultimately deriving from the Latin _Laurentius_, meaning “from Laurentum” (a city in ancient Italy, whose name likely meant “laurel”). It has been particularly popular in Italy and French-speaking regions. The most famous bearer is probably Enzo Ferrari, the Italian automotive magnate and founder of the Ferrari sports car company, whose name is now synonymous with speed and luxury. There is also the celebrated French-Italian actor Enzo G. Castellari. While no prominent Scottish locations share the name, the root ‘Laurentius’ gave us the name Lawrence, which appears in place names like St Lawrence Bay. Today, Enzo feels both sleek and international, with a touch of Mediterranean warmth that has steadily gained popularity in Scotland since the 1990s.
