Only one example of the word Nollaig "Christmas" as a placename element seems to occur among the townland names of Ireland, i.e. Buaile na Nollag/Boleynanollag, the name of a townland in south-east Co. Galway.
However, there are examples in different parts of the country of placenames based on festivals or specific times of the year, such as Boolanacausk/Buaile na Cásca "the boley of Easter" in Clare (logainm #7433), Lisbalting/Lios Bealtaine "(the) ringfort of May" in Tipperary (logainm #48350) and Carrickhawna/Carraig Shamhna "(the) rock of Halloween" in Sligo (logainm #44706).
