 [ syll. eu-nan, eun-an ] The boy name Eunan is used chiefly in the Irish and Scottish languages. Its origin is Gaelic. The name means fearful one; little Adam. Eunan is Anglicized from Ádhamhnán; the latter is most likely a diminutive of 'adomnae' (great fear), although it is sometimes taken as a diminutive of Ádhamh, the Gaelic form of Adam. The name was borne by a 7th-century saint and abbot of Iona. Adhamhnan (Irish and Scottish), Adomnan (Irish), and Ádhamhnán (Irish and Scottish) are variants of Eunan. See also the related form, Ádhamh (Irish). Eunan is rare as a baby boy name. It is not listed in the top 1000. Baby names that sound like Eunan include Euan (English and Scottish), Euen (Scottish), Eumann (Scottish), Ewan (English and Scottish), Ewen (Scottish), Jani (Finnish and Hungarian), Jano (Hungarian and Czech), Jeno (Hungarian), Jenö (Hungarian), Johan (Czech, Dutch, German, Scandinavian, Bavarian, English, and Estonian), Johann (German), Jóhann (Scandinavian), Yemon, Yianni (Greek), Yoann (French), Yohan (French), Yona (Russian), Yonah (Hebrew), Yuan (Manx), and Yuma.   |
