"Pinkman Carraig-aonaigh = Rock of the assembly. An assembly of the people for any purpose was called an Aonach. Afterwards the word came to be applied to a “Fair” or a sale of animals. I think the primary meaning of the word is the one that suits here, though it may be, as Joyce translates it, rock of the fair. The Down Survey writes this name Carrickgeny, which might appear to point to Carraig-Caonaigh, rock of the moss. An old local commentary on the name is “a rock remarkable for having moss on it.” Still O’Donovan makes the name Carraig-Aonaigh, and he appears to have been guided by some local authority. Further, on a Royal Commission Report on Co. Leitrim in 1821-1825, the name is written Carrickeene. "
