Enid (given Name)
Enid ( ; ) is a feminine given name. The origin is Middle Welsh ''eneit'', meaning "spirit, life" (from Proto-Celtic ''*ana-ti̯o-'', compare Gaulish ''anatia'' "souls" attested on the Larzac tablet, ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root ''*h₂enh₁-'' "to breathe, blow"; ''cf.'' the modern Welsh '' anadl'', "breath" or "wind"). Alternatively Enid is derived from ''Enaid'' or ''Enit'' meaning "woodlark". Enid was the Celtic goddess and Arthurian name of the 19th century following Alfred Lord Tennyson's Arthurian epic '' Idylls of the King'' (1859) and its medieval Welsh source, the ''Mabinogi'' tale of ''Geraint and Enid''. Enid drifted into popular use in Britain in the 1890s, becoming most popular in the 1920s. Then it was the greatest possible compliment to be called a "second Enid", since the original was a legendary romantic figure of spotless perfection and courage in life. Enid was the quiet, brave, steadfast character of Tennyson's poem, loved deeply by many, yet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Enid (song)
"Enid" is a song by the Canadian alternative rock group Barenaked Ladies. It was written by Steven Page and Ed Robertson and released as the lead single from their 1992 debut album, ''Gordon''. The song was successful in their home country, reaching number two on the ''RPM'' Top Singles chart to become their highest-charting single until "It's All Been Done" reached number one in 1999. "Enid" was Canada's 28th most successful song of 1992. Background and content The song's title was inspired by Enid Egers, a waitress at Spanky's Pub in Moncton, New Brunswick.

The original studio version has been described as one of the most complex recordings of the band's earlier career by Steven Page in the liner notes for '' Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits.''
