Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of Sitric
    Sitric — ainm pearsanta (< Sigtryggr na Sean-Ioruaise)
    Cé gur ainm Lochlannach é Sigtryggr, ghlac na Gaeil an t-ainm chucu féin, agus is i logainm Gaeilge atá an t-ainm úd caomhnaithe anseo (ach oiread le Ballivor / Baile Íomhair, q.v.). Ní miste a rá go raibh Sitric mac Amlaím, rí Ghaill Átha Cliath, i mbun feachtais sa Mhí i dtosach an 11ú haois (féach Annála Uladh)
