An Seabhac: Muc-Ros, mucərəs .i. ros na muc (bhfiadhain). Ainm fhiliúil air = ‘Mucros na gCraobh’ toisc a mhéid a bhí coillte, crainn ann. Is ann atá fothrach agus reilg na mórmhainistreach – ‘Mainistir Locha Léin’ nó ‘Mainistir Oirbhealaigh’ nó fós ‘M. Mhucrois’…dar liom b’é Oirbhealach an bunainm bf. agus ba chuid de sin an Mucros ach gur shlad Mucros an áit go léir fén ainm féin. Siar ó iarthar an bhf. idir Loch Mhucrois agus Gleann Átha tá dhá oileán – An Bricín agus Duibh-Inis.
