Enkopiphobia, also known as Anenkopiphobia is the fear of the Scottish town of An Neag. This fear is likely caused by the town's rather intimidating English name. An Neag is actually the Scottish Gaelic translation, with the English form being Nigg. The name enkopiphobia comes from the word enkopi, which is Greek for notch with phobia at the end to indicate fear, this wording is chosen because of the meaning of An Neag; The Notch. The alternative name of Anenkopiphobia adds the An from An Neag to differentiate the name from actual notches.
