Enright

 Most “right” names have a W. 

Which comes from old English for maker. 

But Enright is from a different root,

And so it’s a spelling rule breaker. 

It comes from some word in Irish,

But no one’s sure which word. 

“Lawful” or maybe “attacker” -

Those are the ones I’ve heard. 

I’d like to get this settled

But need a Time Machine. 

Which is the “right” explanation?

What does this name really mean?
