In the dictionaries

We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.

Enzo is an Italian name with more than one origin, so it has no single meaning. It often began as a short form of longer names ending in -enzo, such as Lorenzo or Vincenzo. In the Middle Ages it also served as an Italian form of the German name Heinz, short for Heinrich, the German form of Henry; the most famous early bearer was Enzo, king of Sardinia and son of Emperor Frederick II. Name lists therefore give "ruler of the home" from Heinrich or "winner" from Vincenzo. The racing-car maker Enzo Ferrari made the name famous worldwide. It is short and easy for Indian families to say.
