Origin and meaning of Ennio
Ennio comes from the Latin Ennius, the name of the ancient Roman family to which Quintus Ennius belonged, regarded as the father of Latin poetry. The name blends classical echo and musicality. In the twentieth century it was made immortal by Ennio Morricone, the acclaimed, Oscar-winning film-score composer. Used almost only in Italy, it has an elegant, cultured and deeply Italian tone, loved by those who favour names of ancient flavour.
