Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the thicket of Piarac?
    Piarac — ainm pearsanta (< Pierac na nAngla-Normannach, foirm dhíspeagtha de Piers)

    Féach samplaí eile d’ainmneacha Angla-Normannacha in -ac i logainmneacha Gaeilge san oirdheisceart, m.sh. Anraic (#28004), Robac (#52587, #117006), Seonac (#52627) (cf. Ó Crualaoich, Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV (LG) s.n. Ballyshonock).

    Is cosúil ar fhoirmeacha 1549, 1551, 1564, 1576, etc., nach móin “bog(land)” atá san aicmitheoir anseo ach muine “thicket”; níl aon tuairisc ar thalamh bhogach anseo ar www.epa.ie.
