  • English

    the town of An tAbhallortach?
    An tAbhallortach — translated form of the Anglo-Norman surname Orchard?
    The entries 1583, 1609, 1619 show three syllables in the final element of the Irish name, which implies a surname. However, it may be the same place as 'Nawelort' (1384) < ?** ***An Abhalloirt (gin. na hAbhalloirte), 'the orchard'.
    Cf. the two townlands named Baile an Abhallortaigh/Orchardstown in Co. Waterford.
