Enna is well attested in Sardinia in Alghero, Sassari and Ozieri in the Sassari area, in Oristano, Riola Sardo, Tramatza, Baratili San Pietro, Milis and Bonarcado in the Oristano area and in Macomer in the Nuoro area, Ennas has a stock in San Gavino Monreale in the Middle Campidano , one in Cagliari, Quartu Sant'Elena and Selargius in Cagliari and in Narcao, Sant'Antioco, Carbonia and Portoscuso in the carboniense, Enne, typically Sardinian, has a stock in the Nuorese to Bolotana and Ottana and one to Iglesias, should derive from a nickname originated from the Sardinian word ènna (door), perhaps attributed to a founder who by profession produced doors. Enna also has a Sicilian lineage that probably takes its name from the city of Enna. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas ENNA; ENNAS: enna, genna, jenna are the campidanesi exits of yanna, ianna, janna = porta, from the Latin ianua. In its variants it is very frequent as a toponym in the whole territory of Sardinia. Gennarju or Ennarju is the first month of the year (January), the door to the new year.
