Etymology

Borrowed from Italian Enzo (equivalent to English Hank), from German Heinz, a diminutive of Heinrich (English Henry), from Old High German Heimrih, Haimirich (heim (“home”) + rihhi (“ruler”)), from Proto-Germanic *Haimarīks, from Proto-Indo-European roots. Rare in the US and UK prior to 2003, popularized in the 2000s.
