We can suppose that this was a female name on the basis of other examples of names starting with the element Eno- (lit. 'mother').
The element ⲉⲛⲟ- at the beginning may not be an integral part of the name, but a title 'mother', analogous to ⲡⲁⲡⲟ, 'father', attested with names of some Nubian bishops and most probably equivalent to more common ⲁⲃⲃⲁ.
