Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia: štúdia o osobných menách v stredovekých kastílskych dokumentoch. Výslovnosť, ekvivalenty a španielske domácke podoby: Behind the Name – Enrique; podobu Quique potvrdzuje aj jazyková poradňa Ciberdúvidas. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidiel pre cudzie mužské mená zakončené na vyslovované -e podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka. Uvádzam iba tri doložené španielske domácke podoby; štyri až sedem ustálených slovenských zdrobnenín sa nepodarilo overiť. Konkrétne heslo Enrique v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
