Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of Ó Fearaíl
    Ó Fearaíl (< Ó Fearghail) — sloinne

    Fearann Mhic Fhearaíl “the land of the son of Fearaíol” ainm eile a bhí ar an áit seo de réir iontráil 1622, foirm ina bhfuil ainm athartha bunaithe ar an ainm pearsanta Fearaíol (< Fearghal), seachas an sloinne Ó Fearaíl. Dá bharr sin d’fhéadfaí a chur san áireamh gurb é an t-ainm pearsanta atá in ainm an bhaile fearainn freisin, toisc nach mbeifí ag súil le puinn difríochta idir Baile Uí Fhearaíl agus Baile F(h)earaíl i bhfoirmeacha béarlaithe. Cloímid leis an sloinne anseo, áfach, de bharr go bhfuil 173 sampla den sloinne Farrell ar fud an chontae in Griffith’s Valuation (cf. Ó Crualaoich, Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV (LG) (Réamhrá)).
