Eniong Abatim (Efik: Eniọñ Abatịm) is a community located in the present-day Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River state of Nigeria.
[1] Although some documents such as Edward Bold's The Merchant's and Mariner's African Guide (1822), spell it as "Aniung".
Hope Waddell's book, Twenty-Nine Years in the West Indies and Central Africa (1863), it is spelt "Iniong"; and in J.B. King's expeditionary accounts in 1841, it is spelt "Innieong".
[4] [5] The modern and appropriate spelling in the Efik language which is spoken by the Eniong is Eniọñ.
[1] Its northeastern boundary adjoins Biase Local Government Area, and to the south, it is bordered by the Cross River.
