    the town of Ó Maonaigh
    Ó Maonaigh — sloinne

    Ní cinnte gur sloinne Gaelach atá anseo, cé go raibh a lán samplaí de Mooney sa chontae seo aimsir Griffith’s Valuation agus TAB (m.sh. ceathrar díobh i bpar. an Fhosaidh nó Thigh Mochua ó dheas). Cuireadh na sloinnte gallda Moyn (atá le fáil i measc na nAngla-Normannach i dTiobraid Árann) agus de Mon (atá le fáil i gCill Dara) san áireamh freisin.

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:
    In iardheisceart an bhaile fearainn seo is ea a chas teorainn thailte an Phiogóidigh in 1608 siar ó thuaidh, ‘northwestward, to the glen of Glanbarrowe’ (CPR 113). Ritheann sruthán mar theorainn pharóiste trí bf Béal Fhada (#28607) agus ghabhann thar bráid fhothracha sheanteampall in bf An Bhuiríos Mhór (#28608) go dtiteann isteach sa Trióg (#116624) ag bf Cnocán na gCruach (#28327) agus bf Coillte Laoise (#28329). Níl bunús an cháilitheora róchinnte: b’fhéidir Gleann Beara “glen of (the spike?/of water?)” (cf. an nóta faoi bf Cluain Beara (#28565)); cf. freisin ‘Clann Bearaigh’ i nginealaigh Laoise (LGen. 556.16)).
