    the (oak-)wood of the awkward, left-handed people
    ciotach — leasainm ar chlann áirithe, is dócha

    Is cosúil gur Doire na gCiotach bunfhoirm an logainm seo, rud a chiallaíonn ‘(oak-)wood, grove, thicket of the awkward, clumsy, left-handed ones’. Ach is dócha nár chóir na gCiotach a thuiscint mar thagairt do ghrúpa fánach de dhaoine ciotacha, ach mar leasainm ar chlann áirithe a bhí i seilbh na talún anseo. Castar leis an mbuafhocal/leasainm Ciotach minic go leor i measc na nGael, agus dhealródh sé gur tháinig sé anuas ó ghlúin go glúin ar uairibh. Cuir i gcás ‘Hugh Kittagh Mc Owen Kittagh, of Inche’ (1605; Calendar of Patent Rolls (CPR) 65b) .i. Aodh Ciotach mac Eoghain Ciotaigh [Ó Murchú] ón Inis [#52315] gar don Abhainn Dhubh [#52328] i gContae Loch Garman; tugann an tagairt seo le fios gur bhain an leasainm ciotach leis an sliocht áirithe sin de mhuintir Mhurchú, tharla gur tháinig sé anuas ó ghlúin go glúin. Go deimhin, san iontráil chéanna in CPR faightear ‘Edm. Kittagh of Inche’ (Éamann Ciotach), tagairt do dhuine eile fós de chuid an teaghlaigh chéanna ní foláir. Dá dheasca seo is féidir cáilitheoir an logainm seo idir chamáin .i. Doire na gCiotach a thuiscint mar thagairt do chlann ar leith, a raibh an talamh ina seilbh acu tráth is dócha.

  • English

    the (oak-)wood of the awkward, left-handed people
    ciotach — probably a sobriquet in this case

    Doire na gCiotach most likely means ‘(oak-)wood, grove, thicket of the awkward, clumsy, left-handed ones’. However, one should probably not think of na gCiotach ‘of the awkard, clumsy, left-handed ones’ as a reference to a random collection of such people, as it most likely refers to the sobriquet (nickname) of a particular family who once had possession of land here. Ciotach was quite commonly used as a descriptor in Irish society, and sometimes seems to have been applied to families inter-generationally. For example, a reference to ‘Hugh Kittagh Mc Owen Kittagh, of Inche’ (1605; Calendar of Patent Rolls (CPR) 65b) i.e. Aodh Ciotach mac Eoghain Ciotaigh [Ó Murchú] of Inch [#52315], near Blackwater, in County Wexford, suggests that this branch of the Ó Murchú family bore the sobriquet ciotach, as it has clearly been passed on inter-generationally here. Indeed, in the same entry to the CPR one also finds ‘Edm. Kittagh of Inche’ (Éamann Ciotach), probably another member of the same family. Such a scenario allows for Doire na gCiotach to be understood as a reference to the sobriquet of members of a particularly family, most likely erstwhile landholders here.
