Explanatory note

(oak-)wood

Is ionann é seo agus an áit ar theorainn thuaidh na barúntachta ar a dtugtar 1654 ‘Derryvurreran’, ‘Derryvureran’ CS X 24, ach más ea níl an cáilitheoir soiléir.

Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
Ní cinnte bunús 1838 ‘Dereenamore’, 1841 Derreenymore SO, mionainm ar phaiste beag bídeach de dhrochthalamh a ghobann amach sa phortach. D’fhéadfaí Draighneach Mhór “big thorny place” a mheas, le guta cúnta idir /d/ agus /r/ (cf. -ee- /iː/ in 1838 ‘Kildreena’ faoi bf Cill Draighneach (#27809) in Uí Fhairchealláin, 1150c ‘ó Chill draigneach in hUibh Drona’ > 1839 ‘Kildreena’ (#3399) i dtuaisceart Cheatharlach, agus 1905 ‘Kildhreena’ (Gaeilge) (#27510) i dtuaisceart Chill Chainnigh), nó b’fhéidir Doiríní Mór (?) “big Doiríní”.

Ní léir an bhfuil baint ag an mionainm seo leis an leagan fada d’ainm an bhaile fearainn féin 1654 ‘Derryvurreran’.
