wood of (the) she-goat?
Tá foirmeacha an 16ú haois in -n deiridh an-amhrasach. Tá iontrálacha 1567–1618, ar a laghad, gaolmhar le chéile. Is ann don sloinne Sasanach Minchin < SBh. mynecen ‘bean rialta’ ach níl sampla de le fáil i measc na Sean-Ghall in Éirinn.
Cf. bf Láithreach Minsí (#34086) i gContae Lú ar cosúil gur ainm eaglasta é. Níl aon trácht ar aon iarsmaí de chill ná de reilig sa bhaile fearainn seo idir chamáin, áfach. D’fhéadfaí an t-ainm coitianta minseach “she-goat” a chur san áireamh (féach Ó Duinnín s.v. minnseach; cf. www.dil.ie 3 menn).
Tá cur síos ar an gcaisleán san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie).
