Enea

Enea is a masculine given name used in several European languages, notably Italian and Polish. It is the form of the ancient name Aeneas, found in classical literature. In Virgil’s Aeneid, Aeneas is the Trojan hero who, after the fall of Troy, undertakes a journey to Italy. There he is associated with the origins of Rome, serving as a symbolic figure of pietas and duty and as part of the mythical lineage claimed by Roman founders.

Enea also refers to ENEA, the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development. ENEA is a public research institution that operates under the government and focuses on research in energy, environmental technologies, information and communication technologies, and sustainable development. The agency conducts scientific programs, develops technological innovations, and collaborates with universities, industry, and European partners to address energy efficiency, climate change, and related policy goals. ENEA maintains laboratories and research centers across Italy and disseminates results through publications, projects, and partnerships with public and private sectors.

Usage of the name Enea varies by country and culture, but it remains part of the broader classical naming tradition that ties modern given names to ancient myth and literature. The form is sometimes chosen for its historic resonance and cultural associations, as well as for its concise, national-language fit in Italian and Polish contexts.
