    place of pastures
    < cluain

    Talamh phortaigh ar gach taobh den bhaile fearainn seo. Is ann don logainm Cluain Each “pasture of horses” in áiteanna eile, ach bheifí ag súil leis an bpríomhbhéim a bheith ar an eilimint deiridh ina leithéid d’ainm, murab ionann is 2005 /ˈkluːnə/ anseo.

    Tá an-chuid logainmneacha sa pharóiste seo a bhfuil an eilimint cluain le fáil iontu (mar a thug Seán Ó Donnabháin faoi deara, Litreacha na Suirbhéireachta Ordanáis I 40). Pléann Ó Cearbhaill an téarma seo in Logainmneacha na hÉireann III.
