Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of Ó Coileáin
    Ó Coileáin — sloinne

    Cloímid anseo leis an bhfoirm Ghaeilge sa Leabhar Branach, 1565c ‘Baile Í Choilléin [: doinndéir]’. Níl aon bhaint ar leith ag an sloinne Ó Coileáin leis an gcuid seo den chontae, áfach, ná ní léir cad ina thaobh go ndéanfaí -coolan /-ˈkuːlin/ de i logainm chomh soiléir le *Baile Uí Choileáin. Tagann foirm 1518–19 ‘Baly Conlyn’ Kildare Rental 287 (leg. ‘Baly Coulyn’) le fuaimniú an lae inniu 2006 /baliˑˈkuːlin/ agus le formhór na bhfoirmeacha stairiúla eile (m.sh. 1551, 1558, 1612, 1659, srl.). Tá rian na Gaeilge le sonrú ar logainmneacha eile in Kildare Rental 287 (féach #28173).

    Cf. ainm eile a bhí sa chomharsanacht 1518–19 ‘Bealatha Cuyllean’, srl., seanainm par Thulaigh Ó mBuí (#1465).

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:

    1. Ní léir cad is foirm cheart don mhionainm Aughroenaaibig SO.
    2. Is dócha go dtagann Carrigeen Well SO in iarthar an bhaile fearainn as * Tobar an Charraigín “the well of the little rock”.
    3. Is cosúil gur botún é Castlepiere SO 25ʺ; féach 1654c ‘an heap of stones, on the said mountain called Castleperritt’, 1841 Castlepierce SO 6ʺ < Caisleán Phiarais “the castle of Piaras (ainm pearsanta)”.
