Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of the son of Giolla Chaomháin
    Giolla Chaomháin — ainm pearsanta bunaithe ar Caomhán

    Is cosúil nach sloinne atá anseo ach ainm athartha. Díol spéise nach bhfuil an mhír Giolla le sonrú san fhianaise is sine dá dtagann anuas chugainn (1224c–1340). B’fhéidir go seasann Kevan do Giolla Chaomháin ansiúd faoi mar a fhreagraíonn Patrick do Giolla Phádraig na nGael i gcáipéisí luatha, ach féach gurbh ainm Angla-Normannach é Patrick féin, murab ionann is Kevan. Tá Caomhán luaite le bf Eanach Troim (#28438) in Uíbh Fhairchealláin agus le bf Cill Chaomháin (#28471) i nDúiche Uí Riagáin.

    Tá cuid de shean-léarscáil eastáit a thaispeánann an baile beag seo i 1745 i gcló in Laois: History & Society 15, 24.
