The right whale got it`s name because they were slow, big and easy to find, so they were the "Right" whale to hunt.

Right Whales are called that because they were the "right whale" to hunt. They lived where the early industrial whalers hunted and they float when dead and when people would go whaling the right whale was very slow and they would swim close to the surface :)
