Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    stone of (the) hazel

    Truailliú is ea Knock- sa leagan Béarla; taispeánann an fhianaise gur cloch a bhí sa chéad eilimint den logainm Gaeilge. Is dócha go ndéanann an t-ainm tagairt don chnoc carraigeach anseo (féach www.epa.ie).

    Tháinig an t-ainm Béarla eile Springfield chun cinn ón sruthán a éiríonn i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn seo.
