EcoRI. 

The letter of the name comes from the genus and the next two from the name of the species of the bacterium i.e.,prokaryotic cell. Thus Eco stands for the genus and species of the prokaryotic cell from which the enzyme was isolated i.e. E. coli R stands for strain. 

'I' follows order in which enzyme was isolated.
