Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of the son of Mánas
    Mánas (< Maghnus) — ainm pearsanta (< Magnus na Sean-Ioruaise agus na Laidine)

    Tá na tagairtí ó 1563–1638 ina bhfuil -mick-, -Mc-, -m‘- le fáil gaolmhar le chéile agus iad go léir bunaithe ar ghníomhas Cosby in F (Eilíse) 493. Ní léir an bhfuil an tagairt sin féin gaolmhar le 1549 ‘Ballemickmanus’ ná le 1557c ‘Bally McManus’. Toisc go bhfuil dealramh ar an sloinne/ainm athartha atá le sonrú iontu, áfach, molaimid an leagan Gaeilge seo thuas. Níor cheart Baile Mhánais “the town of Mánas (ainm pearsanta)” a chur as an áireamh. In aimsir Griffith’s Valuation bhí seachtar den sloinne McManus ina gcónaí i mBaile Adaim, beirt eile i bPort Laoise Thiar agus beirt den sloinne Manus ina gcónaí i Ráth Domhnaigh.

    Tá fuaimniú áitiúil an logainm (2004) le tabhairt faoi deara, go háirithe i bhfianaise an ráitis seo i Woulfe, s.n. Mac Maghnuis, Mac Maghnusa: ‘The name is often pronounced Mac Maonuis, or Mac Maonusa’.
