Introduction

Place Names in Alphabetical Order

Introduction

In a broad sense this book is an Anglicised Irish place name dictionary. It is not a book of Irish place names per se, but a breakdown of the English forms of Irish wordings used in most Irish place names.

I have collected all the available place names in their Anglicised form and split them into their relevant word or words. Beside these I have added the corresponding Irish word or words followed by the English translation.

For every complete place name you find in this book there are 99 that are split into their relevant wordings.

As a rule, Anglicised place names are based on the phonetic version of the Gaelic wording; however, there are always exceptions.

The modern spelling of some places may differ somewhat since their meaning was recorded.

* Should a place name lose relevant letters if it were split, it is included in its entirety with the full translation beside it.

* Bilingual and foreign wordings of Irish place names are included (as found) with the translation.

* Should differing versions (not mine) of a place name translation exist, they are included as found.

* English place names of Irish locations are not generally included, e.g. Michaels field or Middle third, unless they are particularly interesting.

* I do not offer my opinions or translations; what you see is what I have found. However, if a spelling might appear to be a typographical mistake, obvious error, a curious Anglicised/Irish variation or a questionable translation, (sic) is placed beside it.

* When an Irish version of the place name has two or more words, I have adopted the style of P.W. Joyce and separated the words with dashes.

* When an Irish translation occurs without an explanation, it is noted ‘not given’ even though it may be obvious to all what that translation is. Almost all of these translations are from various forms of Na-Log-Ainmneacha.

* Places beginning with ‘Bally’ (baile in Irish) can mean a town, village, cluster of houses, townland, place, spot, homestead, enclosure, dwelling, residence, habitation, patrimony, settlement or situation. However, another (but not the only) version of baile with the same meaning is the Anglicised word ‘Ball’ and occurs mostly where family, clan or tribal names follow. Here are some examples:

•   Ballyine (Ball-Yine), baile-Uí-Eidhnigh, Ó hÉidhnigh’s (a family name) town. You would be forgiven if you assumed the Anglicisation was Bally-ine.

•   Ballycue (Ball-Ycue), baile-mic-Aodha, Mackay or MacHugh, a family name and again it could mistakenly be assumed the Anglicisation was Bally-cue.

The same principle can sometimes apply to places beginning with Anna, Annaghy, Arry, Ballyna, Bohery, Boola, Booly, Cappagh, Carricka, Carriga, Clasho, Clon, Clona, Cloney, Clony, Cloony, Cool, Coola, Cooly, Corry, Craggy, Crossy, Curragh, Curry, Derry, Drominy, Dromo, Farrana, Firo, Foily, Garrana, Garrauny, Garry, Glen, Gorteen, Gorty, Inchi, Inchy, Islandi, Kil, Kill, Killa, Killy, Killo, Kishy, Knocka, Knocky, Largy, Latty, Lemy, Lisma, Lissa, Lisso, Lissy, Meeny, Mona, Money, Mony, Rath, Ratho, Ringa, Templey, Terry, Tobery, Tooma, Toomy, Tullig, Tulligo, and Tullo.

All Anglicised family clan or tribal names found this way begin with the letters ‘A’, ‘Y’, ‘O’ or ‘I’ and are listed as such. A few of the longest place names give the reader an insight into how most place names are Anglicised:

* Muckanaghederdavhalia is split thus: Muckanagh-eder-dav-halia.

In Irish this place name is:

Muiceannach-eder-dau-haile, and is split thus:

Muckanagh, muiceannach, muiceanach: a place of pigs, a pig feeding place or a piggery.

Eder, eder, dir, eadar: between.

Dav, dau: two.

Halia, haile: briny inlets.

Meaning the ‘piggery between two briny inlets’.

* Crompaunvealduark is split thus: Crompaun-veal-duark.

In Irish this place name is:

Crompán-bél-duairc, and is split thus:

Crompaun, crompán: a little creek.

Veal, bél: mouth.

Duark, duairc: surly.

Meaning the ‘little creek of the surly mouth’.

* Muingatlaunlusk is split thus: Muing-a tlaunlusk.

In Irish this place name is: Muing-a’tslanluis, and is split thus:

Muing, muing, muinga: a sedgy place or a morass.

Atlaunlusk, a’tslanluis: the rib grass.

Meaning the ‘sedgy place of the rib grass’.

* Carrowkeelanahaglass is split thus: Carrow-keel-an-aha-glass.

In Irish this place name is:

ceathramha-caol-an-atha-glaise, and is split thus

Carrow, ceathrú, ceathru, ceathramha, ceathramhadh: a quarter of land.

Keel, caol, caola, cael: narrow/slender.

An, an: the word ‘the’.

Aha, átha, atha, ath: a ford.

Glass, ghlais, glaise, glas: green or a green place.

Meaning the ‘narrow quarter of the green ford’.

* Corragaunnacalliaghdoo is split thus: Corragaun-na-calliagh-doo.

In Irish this place name is:

Corragán-na-gCalliagh-dubh, and is split thus:

Corragaun, corragán: rock.

Na, na: of the (plural).

Calliaghdoo, gCalliagh-dubh: literally ‘black hags’ or cormorants.

Meaning the ‘rock of the cormorants’.

A few more of the longest place names and local names in Ireland:

•       Bawnhubbamaddereen, bán-thobair-maidrín: field of the well of the little dog.

•       Carrigeenamronety, carraigín-na-mbróinte: little rock of the mill stones.

•       Carrignanonshagh, carraig-na-nÓinseach: rock of the female idiots.

•       Glassillaunvealnacurra, glas-oileán-beal-na-cora: little green island of/at the mouth of the weir.

•       Lisfarbegnagommaun, Lios-fear-beg-na-gComán: fort of the little hurlers.

•       Surhanleanantawey, sruthán-léana-an-tSamhaidh: stream of the meadow of sorrel.

And finally the one that got away, that elusive Mayo place name:

•       Cooneenashkirroogohifrinn: little harbour sliding to hell.

This book could not have been possible without the help of bibliophile Phil Fitzgerald of Cappaghmore, who kindly allowed me access to his extensive library; the research section of the Tipperary County Library, Thurles; the internet; the unyielding devoted help of my daughter Kathlene Burnell; and my devoted and significant better half Ruth Burnell.

I hope you enjoy using this book as much as I did creating it.
