EN, En or en can mean:
En (Н н; italics: Н н) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.
It commonly represents the alveolar nasal consonant , like the pronunciation of in "neat".
An en is a typographic unit, half of the width of an em. By definition, it is equivalent to half of the height of the font (e.g. in 16 point type it is 8 points). As its name suggests, it is also traditionally the width of an uppercase letter "N".
The en dash (–) and en space ( ) are each one en wide. In English, the en dash is commonly used for inclusive ranges (e.g., "pages 12–17" or "August 7, 1988 – November 26, 2005"), and increasingly to replace the long dash ("—", also called an em dash). (Note that when using it to replace a long dash, spaces are needed either side of it – like so.)
EN (Borger 2003 nr. 164 ; U+12097 ????, see also ENSI) is the Sumerian cuneiform for " lord" or " priest".

It may also have been the original title of the ruler of Uruk. See Lugal, ensi and en for more details.
