Meaning

an older Italian name of uncertain origin, also used as a short form of Vincenzo or Lorenzo

The story

Enzo’s early word history is uncertain. The name reference Behind the Name offers possible connections with Heinz or Anzo in some cases. Enzo can stand on its own, and in modern use also serves as a short form of Vincenzo or Lorenzo. Those different routes cannot be reduced to one certain meaning. A medieval bearer was King Enzo of Sardinia. After the battle of Fossalta in the thirteenth century, he was held prisoner in Bologna, in the building now called Palazzo Re Enzo.

Enzo Ferrari supplies the name’s lasting association with motor racing. He raced for Alfa Romeo, then ran the Scuderia Ferrari racing team in Modena and went on to build cars under his own surname. The first Ferrari car, the 125 S, appeared in 1947.

Uruguayan footballer Enzo Francescoli played for River Plate in Argentina and later served as the club’s sporting director. Enzo Fernández’s father named his son in Francescoli’s honor.
