Ar na foirmeacha béarlaithe den sloinne seo (Ó Deargáin) dá luann an Bulbhach, tá O Dargane, O Dergane, O Darigan, Dargan, Dergan, Dorgan, Dorrigan (SGG 495). Tá macasamhail fhormhór na bhfoirmeacha seo léirithe i ndara mír an ainm thuas. Is míchruinn leis an údar céanna (ibid.) an fhoirm bhéarlaithe Dorgan a dtagtar uirthi sa chontae seo is atá réalta i gcuid de na foirmeacha thuas. Is díol spéise é go luaitear O Dergain (CrC 174.6) le tearmann Bhrí Ghabhann (I 38), áit atá tuairim is seacht míle slí siar ó thuaidh ó Ballydorgan, ach níl aon chosúlacht ar an bhfianaise thuas gurbh ó ainm na seantreibhe seo a phréamhaigh an sloinne sa chás seo. Is dóichí gurb iarracht é -g- na bhfoirmeacha -geregane (1610) agus -gerigane (1626) ar -dh- a chur in iúl. BAILE UÍ DHEARGÁIN; AL: OD
