Explanatory note

Gaeilge

high, shelving hill?
Ní cinnte brí lochta anseo. Meastar gur iasacht ó lopt na Sean-Ioruaise í lochta (féach www.dil.ie s.v. lota), ach oiread le loft an Bhéarla: ‘In Norwegian placenames it [lopt] is also used of 'something elevated, especially a hill' and this sense may occasionally ... occur in English placenames’ (Smith, English Place-Name Elements (1956) II, 26–7). B'fhéidir go bhfuil an tsainbhrí chéanna, .i. 'airde', le lochta sa logainm seo.
English

high, shelving hill?
The meaning of lochta is uncertain here. Lochta is thought to be a loanword from Old Norse lopt (see www.dil.ie s.v. lota), as is English loft: ‘In Norwegian placenames it [lopt] is also used of 'something elevated, especially a hill' and this sense may occasionally ... occur in English placenames’ (Smith, English Place-Name Elements (1956) II, 26–7). It is possible that lochta in the present placename has the same meaning, viz. 'height'.
