Trying to find the meaning of a name...

Not sure if anyone can help. My son is named Enan, a name my ex-wife and I saw once in a child name book which stated the meaning to be 'anvil, or strength'. We loved the name, but it was attributed to being Welsh in origin or Celtic.

I have since found out that it is possibly the name of an Irish Saint and dates back to the Bible and means 'having eyes/sight, or cloud'. I keep getting conflicting answers from the web.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Duncan
