    the ring-fort of Laoiseach?
    Laoiseach — ainm pearsanta

    Is é is dóichí gurb é an t-ainm pearsanta Laoiseach atá sa cháilitheoir den logainm. (Cuid de dhúthaigh Ó bhFailghe ab ea Lé agus níor chuid de Laoighis í, agus is féidir cur suas de Laois anseo dá bharr.)

    Féach an t-ainm Béarla 1666 ‘Rathleissagh, alias Lowerland’ ASE 84. Tá roinnt leathaistriúcháin agus ainmneacha Béarla nuachumtha san fhoinse céanna, cuid acu níos cruinne agus níos buaine ná a chéile.
