Pembroke, Dublin
Forty Foot	The Forty Foot (Irish: Cladach an Daichead Troigh)^[2] is a promontory on the southern tip of Dublin Bay at Sandycove, County Dublin, Ireland, from which people have been swimming in the Irish Sea all year round for some 250 years.^[3]^[4] The name "Forty Foot" is somewhat obscure. On an 1833 map, the Marine Road (located 1.5 km (0.93 mi) to the west) was named the Forty Foot Road, possibly because it was 40 ft (12 m) wide; the name may have been transferred to the swimming place, which was called the Forty-Foot Hole in the 19th century.^[5]^[6] Other accounts claim the name was given by fishermen because it was forty feet (6+2⁄3 fathoms) deep, but the water in the area is no deeper than 20 ft (6.1 m; 3.3 fathoms).^[7] Others have attempted to link it to the 40th (the 2nd Somersetshire) Regiment of Foot, who supposedly bathed there, but they were stationed at Richmond Barracks in Inchicore.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]	Irish: Cladach an Daichead Troigh)^[12]

Ballsbridge	Ballsbridge (Irish: Droichead na Dothra, meaning 'Dodder bridge') (from historic Ball's Bridge) is an affluent neighbourhood of the city of Dublin, Ireland. The area is largely situated north and west of a three-arch stone bridge across the River Dodder, on the south side of the city. The sign on the bridge still proclaims it as "Ball's Bridge", in recognition of the fact that the original bridge on that location was built and owned by the Ball family, a well-known Dublin merchant family in the 1500s and the 1600s.^[15] The current bridge was built in 1791.	Irish: Droichead na Dothra, meaning 'Dodder bridge'

Beaumont, Dublin	Beaumont (Irish: Beaumont)^[17] is a northside suburb of Dublin city, Ireland, bordered by Donnycarney, Santry and Artane. It lies within the postal district of Dublin 9. The name is derived from the French for "beautiful mount" as the parish is located atop an ascent from Fairview and is inspired by its clean air and views across Dublin to the Wicklow Mountains. The name was apparently given by Olivia Whitemore and Arthur Guinness in 1764, as they made their new family home in Beaumont House, a protected structure and can be visited today.^[18]	Irish: Beaumont
Beggars Bush, Dublin	Beggars Bush (Irish: Tor an Bhacaigh) is the site of the former Beggars Bush Barracks on Haddington Road in the inner southern suburbs of Dublin, Ireland, as well the surrounding area and a nearby pub. The barracks were bordered to the east by Shelbourne Road, which used to be the western bank of the River Dodder. The locality is in the jurisdiction of Dublin City Council, is broadly considered to be part of Ballsbridge, and is in the postal district Dublin 4. Archbishop Alen's register refers to the area as Beggarsditch as far back as 1326.^[19] The earliest specific mention is a 1573 reference to "the wood called Beggars boush".^[20] Neil Howlett notes earlier instances of "Beggars Bush" as a minor placename in England, usually denoting poor-quality farmland.^[20] The idea that it denoted a meeting place for beggars or a thieves' den is rejected by Howlett as a folk etymology originating in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.^[20]	Irish: Tor an Bhacaigh
Bluebell, Dublin	Bluebell (Irish: An Cloigín Gorm) is a small suburb of Dublin, Ireland. Situated approximately 6 kilometres south-west of the city centre, on the Camac, a Liffey tributary, the suburb borders the Grand Canal and Ballyfermot to the west, Walkinstown & Drimnagh to the east, Inchicore to the north, and Clondalkin to the south.^[21]	Irish: An Cloigín Gorm
Broadstone, Dublin	Broadstone (Irish: An Clochán Leathan) is one of the three neighbourhoods that make up present-day Phibsboro in Dublin, Ireland. The most southerly of these, it begins just two kilometres north of Father Mathew Bridge at Ormond Quay. The area is triangular, bounded by Phibsborough Road and Constitution Hill to the West, North Circular Road to the north, and Dorset Street and Bolton Street to the south-east. The postal district for the area is Dublin 7. Broadstone was known in earlier times as Glasmanogue. The name is descriptive of a ford crossing place over the Bradogue River, a Liffey tributary stream the mouth of which is located there. The Bradogue rises in Cabra to the north-west and runs to the Liffey at Ormond Quay. It has long been culverted and now runs wholly underground.	Irish: An Clochán Leathan
Cabra, Dublin	Cabra (Irish: An Chabrach, meaning 'the poor land') ^[22] is an inner suburb on the northside of Dublin city in Ireland. It is approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) northwest of the city centre, in the administrative area of Dublin City Council. It was commonly known as Cabragh until the early 20th century. Largely located between the Royal Canal and the Phoenix Park, it is primarily a residential suburb, with a range of institutions and some light industry. Cabra is served by bus, tram and mainline rail; it lies across Navan Road, one of the main roads from central Dublin to the orbital motorway.	Irish: An Chabrach, meaning 'the poor land'

Clontarf, Dublin	Clontarf (Irish: Cluain Tarbh, meaning 'meadow of bulls'^[26]) is an affluent^[27] coastal suburb on the Northside of Dublin in the city's Dublin 3 postal district.^[28] Historically, there were two centres of population, one on the coast towards the city, and the fishing village of Clontarf Sheds, further north on the coast at what is now Vernon Avenue. Clontarf has a range of retail businesses in several locations, mainly centred on Vernon Avenue. It adjoins Fairview, Marino, Killester and Raheny. Clontarf is in the jurisdiction of Dublin City Council. Clontarf was a core site of the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, in which Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, defeated the Vikings of Dublin and their allies, the Irish of Leinster. This battle, which extended over a wide area, from modern Ballybough to Kilbarrack, at least, is seen as marking an end to the Irish-Viking Wars. The name Cluain Tarbh means "meadow of bulls", cluain being "meadow" and tarbh meaning "of bulls" in Irish.^[29]	Irish: Cluain Tarbh, meaning 'meadow of bulls'
Clonturk	Clonturk (Irish: Cluain Torc) is an area on the Northside of Dublin, in Ireland. It is located in the south of the suburb of Drumcondra, just north of the River Tolka, but previously, Clonturk had been an alternative name for Drumcondra and the wider area.^[30]^[31] Clonturk lies within the Dublin 9 postal district. The name Clonturk translates from the Irish as 'pasture of the boars'.^[32] There is some evidence that the name originally was Ceann Torc or the 'headland of the boars', but had changed to Clonturk by the middle of the 16th century, perhaps under the influence of the more famous neighbouring placename Clontarf. The civil parish of Clonturk is part of the barony of Coolock.^[32] The name 'Clonturk' mainly survives today through the existence of Clonturk House on Ormond Road. Clonturk House was built in 1830 by the then City Architect, as a gentleman’s residence and was extensively renovated in 1880 and given its Georgian frontage. For a number of years until 1960 Clonturk House was run by the Presbyterian Church which gave accommodation to girls attending school in Dublin both as fee-paying and on a subsidised basis. Until 2009 it was a home for blind men, run by the Rosminians order.^[33] The balustrade which now forms its boundary came from the original Carlisle Bridge and was moved there when this structure was replaced by the present O'Connell Bridge.^[34]^[35]	Irish: Cluain Torc
Coolock	Coolock (Irish: An Chúlóg, meaning 'the little corner')^[36]^[37] is a large suburban area, centred on a village, on Dublin city's Northside in Ireland.

The population of all electoral divisions labelled as Crumlin was 19,287 as of the 2022 census.^[38] Crumlin is in a townland and civil parish of the same name.^[32] Crumlin gets its name from the "crooked valley" known as Lansdowne Valley.^[39]^[40] The valley was formed by glacial erosion in the distant past and is now bisected by the River Camac. The valley is situated in front of Drimnagh and is largely made up of good-quality houses with plentiful recreational parkland.^{[citation needed]}	Irish: Cromghlinn, meaning 'Crooked Glen'

Dolphin's Barn	Dolphin's Barn (Irish: An Carnán, meaning 'the (small) cairn or mound') is an inner city suburb of Dublin, Ireland, situated on the Southside of the city in the Dublin 8, and partially in the Dublin 12, postal district. The district's English name may derive from an Anglo-Norman family named Dolphyn who owned a storehouse there in medieval times.^[32] However it could also derive from its more ancient name of Carnán Cluana Úi Dhunchada (the little cairn of the meadow of the Úi Dhunchada) or its shortened version of Carn Úi Dhunchada (the cairn of the Úi Dhunchada), anglicised as "Dunphy's Cairn" and ending as "Dolphin's Barn".^[32] The Úi Dhunchada were one of the three branches of the Úi Dúnlainge dynasty from which came most of the Kings of Leinster from the 5th to the 11th century AD.

Inchicore	Inchicore (Irish: Inse Chór)^[32] is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland. Located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the city centre, Inchicore was originally a small village separate from Dublin. The village developed around Richmond Barracks (built 1810) and Inchicore railway works (built 1846), before being incorporated into the expanding city bounds. Inchicore is a largely residential area and is home to the association football club St Patrick's Athletic FC. Inchicore grew from a small village near a marsh on the River Camac at Inse Chór or Inse Chaoire. Some sources suggest that Inse Chaoire means "sheep island", referring to the spot where sheep were herded and watered outside Dublin city prior to market.^[48] Other sources, including the Placenames Database of Ireland, do not give a definitive source for the place name.^[32]	Irish: Inse Chór

The Liberties, Dublin	The Liberties (Irish: Na Saoirsí or occasionally^[52] Na Libirtí) is an area in central Dublin, Ireland, located in the southwest of the inner city. Formed from various areas of special manorial jurisdiction, initially separate from the main city government, it is one of Dublin's most historic working class neighbourhoods. The area was traditionally associated with the River Poddle, market traders and local family-owned businesses, as well as the Guinness brewery, whiskey distilling, and, historically, the textiles industry and tenement housing. The name derives from manorial jurisdictions dating from the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century. They were lands united to the city, but still preserving their own jurisdiction (hence "liberties"). The most important of these liberties were the Liberty of St. Sepulchre, under the Archbishop of Dublin, and the Liberty of Thomas Court and Donore belonging to the Abbey of St. Thomas the Martyr (later called the Earl of Meath's Liberty).^[53] The modern Liberties area lies within the former boundaries of these two jurisdictions, between the river Liffey to the north, St. Patrick's Cathedral to the east, Warrenmount to the south and the St. James's Hospital campus to the west.	Irish: Na Saoirsí or occasionally^[52] Na Libirtí
Marino, Dublin	Marino (Irish: An Mairíne) is an inner suburb on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland. It was built, in a planned form, on former grounds of Marino House, in an area between Drumcondra, Donnycarney, Clontarf, and what became Fairview. The initial development featured around 1,300 concrete-built houses. The design of the new Marino development was heavily influenced by the Garden City Movement, which originated in the United Kingdom with Sir Ebenezer Howard. Howard's idea came from 19th-century writings which inspired him to build the opposite of the general urban conditions that existed at the time, hence building the "Garden City", to be "a perfect combination of rural and urban living". His book, To-morrow, a Peaceful Path to Real Reform (1898), was reprinted in 1902 titled Garden Cities of Tomorrow.	Irish: An Mairíne
Merrion, Dublin	Merrion (Irish: Muirfin)^[54] is a townland and suburban area located about 4 km south east of Dublin City. The townland has an area of approximately 0.8 square kilometres (0.3 sq mi).^[55]	Irish: Muirfin
Milltown, Dublin	Milltown (Irish: Baile an Mhuilinn)^[56] is a suburb and townland on the southside of Dublin, Ireland.

It is located adjacent to other suburban areas such as Windy Arbour, Ranelagh, Rathmines, Dartry, Clonskeagh, and Donnybrook.	Irish: Baile an Mhuilinn
North Strand	North Strand (Irish: An Trá Thuaidh ) is a residential inner city neighbourhood on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland.	Irish: An Trá Thuaidh
North Wall, Dublin	North Wall (Irish: Port Thuaidh) is an area east of the inner north side of Dublin, along the River Liffey where it forms one of the Dublin quays. The name refers to the North Bull Wall, which was constructed to form Dublin Port, extend the Liffey estuary and reclaim land at various stages from the early 1700s until its final completion around 1825. The area is today used to refer to the area between Sheriff Street and the River Liffey. It contains the entire north side of Dublin Docklands and includes the International Financial Services Centre, Spencer Dock, and further east, the main part of Dublin Port.	Irish: Port Thuaidh
Phibsborough	Phibsborough (/ˈfɪbzbərə/; Irish: Baile Phib),^[57] also spelled Phibsboro,^[58] is a mixed commercial and residential neighbourhood on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland. The Bradogue River crosses the area in a culvert, and the Royal Canal passes through its northern reaches, notably at Cross Guns Bridge. Formerly, a branch of the canal ran to the Broadstone basin, later the site of the Midland Great Western Railway Terminus and currently the headquarters of Bus Éireann. Mountjoy Prison is located in the district. The name "Phibsborough" comes from "Phipps" or "Phibbs." This is believed to relate to the Lincolnshire settler Richard Phibbs of Coote's Horse, resident in Kilmainham from the mid-17th century. The spelling is cited as Phippsborough in 1792.	Irish: Baile Phib
Portobello, Dublin	Portobello (Irish: Cuan Aoibhinn, meaning 'beautiful harbour') is an area of Dublin in Ireland, within the southern city centre and bounded to the south by the Grand Canal. It came into existence as a small suburb south of the city in the 18th century, centred on Richmond Street. As a fast-expanding suburb during the 19th century, Portobello attracted many upwardly mobile families whose members went on to play important roles in politics, the arts and science. Towards the end of the century, many Ashkenazi Jews, fleeing pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe, settled in the area; this led to Portobello being known as Dublin's "Little Jerusalem".^[59]	Irish: Cuan Aoibhinn, meaning 'beautiful harbour'
Raheny	Raheny (Irish: Ráth Eanaigh) is a northern suburb of Dublin, Ireland, halfway from the city centre to Howth. It is centred on a historic settlement, first documented in 570 AD (Mervyn Archdall). The district shares Dublin's two largest municipal parks, Saint Anne's Park and Bull Island with its 4.5 km beach, with neighbouring Clontarf, and is crossed by several small watercourses. During the 19th century, significant changes to the village, especially the centre, occurred, as a result of work on the Howth Road by the Telford Engineering Company; prior to this, the road entered the village at the bottom of the central hill, turning sharply coastwards at the top of Main Street. Works to straighten the road resulted in a reduction of the old ringfort.^[60]	Irish: Ráth Eanaigh
Rathgar	Rathgar (Irish: Ráth Garbh, meaning 'rough ringfort')^[61] is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland. Originally a village, which from 1862 was part of the township of Rathmines and Rathgar, it was absorbed by the growing city and became a suburb in 1930.^[62] It lies about three kilometres south of the city centre.	Irish: Ráth Garbh, meaning 'rough ringfort'
Rathmines	Rathmines (/ˈræθˌmaɪnz/; Irish: Ráth Maonais, meaning 'ringfort of Maonas') is an inner suburb^[63] on the Southside of Dublin in Ireland. It begins at the southern side of the Grand Canal and stretches along the Rathmines Road as far as Rathgar to the south, Ranelagh to the east, and Harold's Cross to the west. It is situated in the city's D06 postal district. Rathmines is an Anglicisation of the Irish Ráth Maonais, meaning "ringfort of Maonas"/"fort of Maonas". The name Maonas is perhaps derived from Maoghnes or the Norman name de Meones, after the de Meones family who settled in Dublin about 1280; Elrington Ball states that the earlier version of the name was Meonesrath, which supports the theory that it was named after the family.^[64] Like many of the surrounding areas, it arose from a fortified structure which would have been the centre of civic and commercial activity from the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century. Rathgar, Baggotrath and Rathfarnham are other areas of Dublin whose placenames derive from a similar root.	Irish: Ráth Maonais, meaning 'ringfort of Maonas'
Rialto, Dublin	Rialto (Irish: Rialto) is an inner suburb of Dublin, situated on the city's southside. The area takes its name from the Harcourt Bridge, which was commonly known as the Rialto Bridge due to its resemblance to the shape of the bridge of that name in Venice.^[65]^[66]	Irish: Rialto
Sandymount	Sandymount (Irish: Dumhach Thrá) is a coastal suburb in the Dublin 4 district on the Southside of Dublin in Ireland.	Irish: Dumhach Thrá
Santry	Santry (Irish: Seantrabh, meaning 'old tribe') is a suburb on the northside of Dublin, Ireland, bordering Coolock, Glasnevin, Kilmore and Ballymun. It straddles the boundary of Dublin City Council and Fingal County Council jurisdictions. Santry is an anglicisation of the Irish placename Seantrabh^[67] (IPA: [ˈʃanˠt̪ˠɾˠaw], approximately SHAN-trav) meaning "old tribe" with the name referenced as far back as 828 AD.^[68] The Great Book of Lecan refers to a tribe called the Almanii who inhabited the area, which may have been the source of the name. During the Viking invasions, Norse farmers are recorded as settling in the north Dublin area, which proved to be good farmland.^{[citation needed]} After this time, people began to refer to the area north of the River Tolka, including from Santry and north to Swords, Lusk, and beyond as "Fingal", which translates as "fair-haired foreigner". The name was confined to songs, poems, folk memory and some antiquarian titles until a re-organisation of local government in the 1990s set up Fingal and Fingal County Council.	Irish: Seantrabh, meaning 'old tribe'
Smithfield, Dublin	Smithfield (Irish: Margadh na Feirme, meaning 'Farm Market') is an area on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland. Its focal point is a public square, formerly an open market and common, now officially called Smithfield Plaza, but known locally as Smithfield Square or Smithfield Market. Historically, Smithfield formed the western part of Oxmantown and lay close to Oxmantown Green.	Irish: Margadh na Feirme, meaning 'Farm Market'
Stoneybatter	Stoneybatter (Irish: Bóthar na gCloch), is a neighbourhood of Dublin, Ireland, on the Northside of the city between the River Liffey, the North Circular Road, Smithfield Market, and Grangegorman. It is in the D7 postal district.^[69] It is often referred to as Dublin's "hipster quarter",^[70] and was in Time Out's list of coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2019.^[71] James Collins' 1913 book Life in Old Dublin notes that "Centuries ago (Stoneybatter) was called Bothar-na-gCloch". In Joyce's Irish names of places we find the following interesting information as to the original name of the place: "Long before the city had extended so far, and while Stoneybatter was nothing more than a country road, it was -- as it continues to be -- the great thoroughfare to Dublin from the districts lying west and north-west of the city; and it was known by the name of Bothar-na-gCloch (Bohernaglogh), i.e. the road of the stones, which was changed to the English equivalent, Stoneybatter or stony road". Viking names Apart from the striking artisan dwellings, the area is also known for its prominent Viking street names. For example, there is Viking Road, Olaf Road, Thor Place, Sitric Road, Norseman Place, Ard Ri Road, Malachi Road, Ostman Place, Ivar Street, Sigurd Road and Harold Road. At the time of the Norman invasion, the Vikings, Ostmen or Austmenn (men of the East) as they called themselves, were exiled to the north of the Liffey where they founded the hamlet of Ostmenstown, later to become Oxmantown. Other street names The northern end of Stoneybatter derives its name of Manor Street, bestowed in 1780, from the Manor of Grangegorman in which it was located. During the reign of Charles II (1660–1680), the Manor was held by Sir Thomas Stanley, a knight of Henry Cromwell and a staunch supporter of the Restoration. The short thoroughfare in Stoneybatter called Stanley Street is named after him.^[72]^[73]	Irish: Bóthar na gCloch
Summerhill, Dublin	Summerhill (Irish: Cnoc an tSamhraidh)^[74] is a mainly residential area of Dublin, Ireland, on the Northside of the city. It is located roughly in the area bordered by Gardiner Street in the west, Mountjoy Square, Ballybough in the north, northeast and east, and Talbot Street and Amiens Street in the south and southeast. The name derives from the eponymous street of Summerhill Parade. It is one of the most densely populated and economically deprived areas of the city.^[75]^{[failed verification]}	Irish: Cnoc an tSamhraidh
Terenure	Terenure (Irish: Tír an Iúir, meaning 'land of the yew tree'),^[76] originally called Roundtown, is a middle class^[77] suburb of Dublin in Ireland.

It is situated between the suburbs of Santry, Drumcondra and Glasnevin. North of Whitehall, the M1 motorway begins at its junction with the M50, past the Dublin Port Tunnel's northern entrance. The area is adjacent to the major public Beaumont Hospital and to Dublin City University on Collins Avenue. Whitehall takes its name from a house named White Hall, formerly located to the south of the village on Drumcondra Road Upper. The area commonly known as Whitehall Cross, at the intersection of Swords Road (R132) (north-south) and Collins Avenue (east-west), is in the townland of Clonturk, and was formerly the site of a public house called "The Thatch",^[78] the memory of which is preserved in the name of a nearby road.

It was best known for decades as the location of St Brendan's Hospital, which was the main psychiatric hospital serving the greater Dublin region. As of 2020, the area is the subject of a major redevelopment plan, running for more than a decade, under the aegis of the Grangegorman Development Agency, including the new Technological University Dublin campus. Grangegorman is also the name of a civil parish in the historical baronies of Dublin City and Coolock.^[79] The name Grangegorman, as with other placenames containing the name "Gorman" in the Leinster region, probably indicates that at one time this territory was held by the Uí Bairrche, an Irish clan based in Leinster. The two main representatives of this clan were Uí Treasaig (Tracey) and Mac Gormáin (MacGorman). They were displaced following the Norman invasion of Ireland from the twelfth century.^[80]	Irish: Gráinseach Ghormáin

Ranelagh	Ranelagh (/ˈrænələ/ RAN-ə-lə, locally /ˈrɛn-/ REN-; Irish: Raghnallach, IPA: [ˈɾˠəinˠəl̪ˠəx]) is an affluent^[81] residential area and urban village^[82] on the Southside of Dublin, Ireland in the postal district of Dublin 6. Ranelagh was originally a village called Cullenswood. It has a history of conflict, including the attack on English inhabitants in 1207 and the Battle of Rathmines in 1649. Incorporated into Dublin in the 19th century, it experienced significant development. Ranelagh Gardens, a popular entertainment venue, was established in the 1770s, and Richard Crosbie famously flew in a hot air balloon from the Gardens in 1785. The district was originally a village known as Cullenswood^[83] just outside Dublin, surrounded by landed estates. On Easter Monday in 1207, a celebrating group of English inhabitants of Dublin were attacked here by Irish raiders from county Wicklow. Three hundred people were said to have been killed.^[84] In the 1520s and 1530s Cullenswood was held by the de Meones family, who also owned, and gave their name to, nearby Meonesrath, now Rathmines.^[85]	Irish: Raghnallach
Ringsend	Ringsend (Irish: An Rinn) is a southside inner suburb of Dublin, Ireland. It is located on the south bank of the River Liffey and east of the River Dodder, about two kilometres east of the city centre. It is the southern terminus of the East Link Toll Bridge. Areas included in Ringsend are the south side of the Dublin Docklands, and at the west end is the area of South Lotts and part of the Grand Canal Dock area. Neighbouring areas include Irishtown, Sandymount and the Beggars Bush part of Ballsbridge to the south, and the city centre to the west. A key feature of the area is the chimneys of Poolbeg power station. Formerly the point where ships arriving from across the Irish Sea would dock, Ringsend went into decline in the 19th and 20th centuries, when the shipping moved to other locations, although there is still some container shipping. Ringsend was originally a long narrow peninsula separated from the rest of Dublin by the then much broader estuary of the River Dodder. On early maps, its name is given as 'Rin-Aun' meaning the point of the tide.^[86] Subsequently it was called "Ring's Ende" and the nearest settlements to it are given the names Merryon (Merrion) and Donny Brook. In addition to it being a centre for transportation from England, Wales and elsewhere, it was well known from early times for having a saltworks there.^[87] Ringsend has long been known colloquially as Raytown, reflecting its history as a fishing village and popularity of the stingray fish, which is sold in local takeaways as battered ray.^[88]^[89]	Irish: An Rinn

Greenhills is in the Dublin postal district of Dublin 12 and the local government area of South Dublin. The area's name comes from the sand-based hills that made up a glacial esker which formed in the area at the end of the Ice Age.^[108]	Irish: Na Glaschnoic
Jobstown	Jobstown (/ˈdʒoʊbz.taʊn/; Irish: Ráth Miontáin), also historically called Rathminton,^[109] is a townland and suburb of Tallaght in County Dublin, Ireland, and so an outer suburb of Dublin. It is in the local government area of South Dublin.	Irish: Ráth Miontáin
Knocklyon	Knocklyon (Irish: Cnoc Lín)^[110]^[32] is a suburb of the city of Dublin, located in South Dublin, Ireland. Unlike many Dublin suburbs, Knocklyon was not developed around a village; rather it largely consists of modern housing, with a number of old cottages and farmhouses along Knocklyon Road attesting to the area's rural past. The area has been known historically^[32] in 14th-century scrolls as Cnoclín, literally 'flax mountain'. Until recently, roadsigns in Knocklyon had an incorrect "reverse anglicised" translation, giving Lyon's hill or Cnoc Liamhna, so for example, the Irish-language wording on signs for Knocklyon Road showed Bóthar Chnoc Liamhna. The local authority have updated their translation based on recommendations from the Irish Placenames Commission.^[111]	Irish: Cnoc Lín
Lucan, Dublin	Lucan (/ˈljuːkən/ LEW-kən; Irish: Leamhcán) is a suburban village to the west of Dublin, Ireland, located 12 km from Dublin city centre, on the River Liffey. It is near the Strawberry Beds and Lucan Weir, and at the confluence of the River Griffeen. It is mostly in the local government area of South Dublin, with the exception of the North Lucan areas of Laraghcon, Coldblow and Saint Catherine's Park, which are in Fingal. Lucan is in a townland and civil parish of the same name, in the barony of Newcastle.^[32] Road access to Lucan is from the N4, and the M50 motorway at Junction 7. In the Irish language, leamhachán refers to the marsh-mallow plant, used up to modern times in folk medicine (for sprains and chest infections) and sweet manufacture,^[112] and so the name could be rendered as "place of marsh-mallow plants" or "land abounding in marsh-mallows." The plant grows in the Liffey Valley and surrounds, as recorded in the 1837 Ainmleabhar Paróiste, reported by Jackson (1914).^[113] In 1615, the area was described as 'a marshy place'...^[114] The alternative meaning is derived from the Irish for elm, leamhán, and has been more popularised, although both definitions could be equally valid, with both mallows and elms still growing in the Lucan area, and etymological experts unable to definitively choose one meaning over the other, as is evidenced on logainm.ie.	Irish: Leamhcán
Newcastle, County Dublin	Newcastle (Irish: An Caisleán Nua)^[115] is a village in South Dublin county south-west of Dublin, Ireland. It is also a civil parish in the historical barony of the same name. It was the location of the castle of the barony, which in historical and official documents is described as Newcastle-Lyons. The area is still primarily rural in nature. Newcastle village is within the administrative area of South Dublin County Council.^[116]	Irish: An Caisleán Nua
Palmerstown	Palmerstown (Irish: Baile Phámar; officially Palmerston, see spelling) is a civil parish and suburb in western Dublin, Ireland on the banks of the River Liffey. It forms part of the South Dublin local authority and the Dublin Mid-West parliamentary constituency. The area is bordered to the north by the River Liffey and the Strawberry Beds, to the west by Lucan, to the south-west by Clondalkin, to the south by Ballyfermot and to the east by Chapelizod. Palmerstown village is situated near the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre. The area is near the junction of the M50 motorway and the N4 road. It lies approximately 7 km west of Dublin city centre. The Old Lucan Road, once the main western route out of the city, passes through the centre of Palmerstown village. A "palmer" in medieval times was a pilgrim who returned from the Holy Land with a palm branch or leaf.^[117] Between 1185 and 1188 Ailred the Palmer and his wife took religious vows and founded a priory and monastic hospital of Crutched Friars outside the West Gate of Dublin, on the road to Kilmainham, which they endowed with all their property.^[118] In 1188 Pope Clement III confirmed the priory's grants, including both the parish of Palmerstown west of Kilmainham and the other parish of Palmerstown northwards in Fingal.^[118] Gerard Lee notes an association of palmers with leper hospitals, of which there was one dedicated to Saint Laurence in the townland of the Saint Laurence in Palmerstown.^[117]^[119] The spelling "Palmerston" rather than "Palmerstown" was fixed by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland in the 1830s; this remains the legal spelling and is officially recognised by South Dublin County Council.^[120] Locals generally use "Palmerstown", and road signs have used both.^[121] A plebiscite of residents is required for a legal name change.^{[n 1]} In 2009, a plebiscite to change to "Palmerstown" received a majority of votes cast but not of eligible voters.^[125] The area concerned was the townlands of Palmerston Upper and Palmerston Lower with an estimated electorate of 8,000.^[126] Supporters of the change argued that the wording of the ballot confused some voters who wanted "Palmerstown" but voted No.^[125] They also argue the spelling without W creates confusion with Palmerston Park further east in Rathmines.^[125] Opponents argue the cost of changing road signs is prohibitive.^[125] Others argue that the name "Palmerston" legally applies only to the civil parish and townland, and that the locality known as "Palmerstown" has a separate identity.^[121] In 2014, another plebiscite was held, restricted to the electoral division (ED) of Palmerston Village (bounded by the Liffey, M50, and N4^[127]) and excluding the adjoining ED of Palmerston West.^[128] The electorate was 641, of whom 425 voted in favour and 17 against;^[129] the change to "Palmerstown Village" was formally approved at the county council meeting in January 2015.^[128]	Irish: Baile Phámar
Perrystown	Perrystown (Irish: Baile Pheire)^[32] is a suburb in South Dublin, Ireland. It is in the Dublin 12 postal district and is adjacent to the areas of Crumlin, Greenhills, Kimmage, Templeogue, Terenure, and Walkinstown.	Irish: Baile Pheire
Rathcoole, County Dublin	Rathcoole (Irish: Ráth Cúil, meaning 'ringfort of Comhaill or Cumhaill') is an outer suburban village in County Dublin, Ireland, south-west of the city of Dublin, and in the local government area of South Dublin. Rathcoole is also a civil parish in the historical barony of Newcastle. Ráth is the Irish word for a ringfort, a circular embankment often erected by wealthy farmers or local chiefs. There are several forts in the civil parish of Rathcoole, one of which is in a field between the village and Saggart village. There is no definite explanation for the name "Rathcoole", but it could be Ráth Cumhaill meaning the ringfort of Cumhaill, the father of Fionn mac Cumhaill. Coole may also come from the Irish word for forest, coill.	Irish: Ráth Cúil, meaning 'ringfort of Comhaill or Cumhaill'
Rathfarnham	Rathfarnham (Irish: Ráth Fearnáin, meaning 'Fearnán's ringfort') is a southside suburb of Dublin, Ireland in County Dublin. It is south of Terenure, east of Templeogue, and is in the postal districts of Dublin 14 and 16. It is between the local government areas of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown and South Dublin.

Saggart	Saggart (Irish: Teach Sagard) is a village in County Dublin, Ireland, south west of Dublin city, in the local government area of South Dublin. It lies between the N7 (Naas Road), Rathcoole, Citywest and Tallaght. It is one of the fastest-growing settlements in Ireland, with its population doubling between 2011 and 2022.^[38] The village is in a townland and civil parish of the same name, in the barony of Newcastle.^[32] A monk called Mosacra founded a settlement on the site of the village in the 7th century. The name Saggart derives from Teach Sacra which means "house of Sacra" in Irish.	Irish: Teach Sagard
Tallaght	Tallaght (/ˈtælə/ TAL-ə; Irish: Tamhlacht, IPA: [ˈt̪ˠəul̪ˠəxt̪ˠ]) is a southwestern outer suburb of Dublin, Ireland. The central village area was the site of a monastic settlement from at least the 8th century, which became one of medieval Ireland's more important monastic centres.^[131] Up to the 1960s, Tallaght was a small village in the old County Dublin, linked to several nearby rural areas which were part of the large civil parish of the same name—the local council estimates the population then to be 2,500.^[132] Suburban development began in the 1970s and a "town centre" area has been developing since the late 1980s. There is no legal definition of the boundaries of Tallaght, but the 13 electoral divisions known as "Tallaght" followed by the name of a locality have, according to the 2022 census, a population of 81,022,^[38] up from 76,119 over six years.^[133] This makes Tallaght the largest settlement on the island without city status, however there have been calls in recent years for it to be declared one.^[134] The village core of the district is located north of, and near to, the River Dodder, and parts of the broader area within South Dublin are close to the borders of Dublin City, County Kildare, Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown and County Wicklow. Several streams flow in the area, notably the Jobstown or Tallaght Stream (a tributary of the Dodder), and the Fettercairn Stream (a tributary of the River Camac), while the Tymon River, the main component of the River Poddle (Liffey tributary), rises in Cookstown, near Fettercairn. Tallaght is also the name of an extensive civil parish, which includes other areas of southern and southwestern Dublin, from Templeogue to Ballinascorney in the mountains. A book about the civil parish was published in the 19th century, The History and Antiquities of Tallaght in the County of Dublin, written by William Domville Handcock.^[131]^[135] The place-name Tallaght is said to derive from támh-leacht, meaning "plague pit" in Irish, and consisting of "támh", meaning plague, and "leacht", meaning grave or memorial stone. The earliest mention of a Tallaght is in Lebor Gabála Érenn ("The Book Of Invasions"), and is there linked to Parthalón, said to be the leader of an early invasion of Ireland. He and many of his followers were said to have died of the plague. The burials that have been found in the Tallaght area, however, are all normal pre-historic interments, mainly from the Bronze Age, and nothing suggesting a mass grave has so far been recorded here. The Annals of the Four Masters record the legendary event as follows: Naoi mile do ecc fri h-aoin-sechtmain do muinter Parthaloin for Shenmhaigh Ealta Eadoir .i. cúig míle d'feroibh, & ceithre míle do mnáibh. Conadh de sin ata Taimhleacht Muintere Parthalain. Trí ced bliadhain ro caithsiot i n-Erinn."^[136] In translation: "Nine thousand of Parthalón's people died in one week on Sean Mhagh Ealta Edair, namely, five thousand men, and four thousand women. Whence is named Taimhleacht Muintire Parthalóin. They had passed three hundred years in Ireland."^[137] The name in Irish, Tamhlacht, is found at other places, such as Tamlaght in Magherafelt District, Northern Ireland, though the mention of Eadoir, probably Binn Éadair (Howth) in the passage below, suggests that Tallaght is the more likely location for this tale. Places near Tallaght featured in the ancient legends of the Fianna, a band of warriors that roamed the country and fought for the High King at Tara. In Lady Gregory's Gods and Fighting Men, mention is made of, in particular, Gleann na Smól: in Chapter 12 "The Red Woman", on a misty morning, Fionn says to his Fians, "Make yourselves ready, and we will go hunting to Gleann-na-Smol".^[138] There they meet Niamh of the Golden Hair, who chose Oisín from among all the Fianna to be her husband, told him to come with her on her fairy horse, after which they rode over the land to the sea and across the waves to the land of Tír na nÓg.	Irish: Tamhlacht
Templeogue	Templeogue (from Irish Teampal Óg, meaning 'new chapel',^[139] or Teach Mealóg, meaning 'house of St Mel (or Melog)'.^[32]^[140]) is a southwestern suburb of Dublin in Ireland. It lies between the River Poddle and River Dodder, and is about halfway from Dublin's centre to the mountains to the south.	Irish: Teampal Óg, meaning 'new chapel'

It is located in the city's D6 and D6W postal districts. The population of all electoral divisions labelled as Terenure was 17,972 as of the 2022 census.^[38]	Irish: Tír an Iúir, meaning 'land of the yew tree'
Whitechurch, Dublin	Whitechurch (Irish: An Teampall Geal)^[32] is a small suburban area on the south side of County Dublin, in the local government area of South Dublin, situated south of Ballyboden, east of Edmondstown and west of Marlay Park. The greater part of the area lies north of the M50 semi-orbital motorway, with some remote parts merging into the mountainous districts of Tibradden and Kilmashogue south of the road, all at the foot of the Dublin mountains.^[143] Whitechurch is usually considered to lie within the greater Rathfarnham area. Whitechurch is in a townland and civil parish of the same name.^[32] The name of the area is derived its name from a small white church in Kilmashogue, built near an ancient cairn (which is a protected monument). Little remains of the church.	Irish: An Teampall Geal
	Category:Towns and villages in Fingal [edit]
Balbriggan	Balbriggan (/bælˈbrɪɡən/; Irish: Baile Brigín, pronounced [ˌbˠalʲə ˈbʲɾʲɪɟiːnʲ]) is a suburban coastal town in Fingal, in the northern part of County Dublin, Ireland. It is approximately 34 km north of the city of Dublin, for which it is a commuter town. The 2022 census population was 24,322 for Balbriggan, making it the 17th-largest urban area in Ireland.^[38] The town formerly had an active textile industry, and was the site of a major episode in the Irish War of Independence. According to P. W. Joyce, the name arises from Baile Breacain [sic], which literally means "Brecan's Town".^[144] Brecan is a common medieval first name and there are several other Brackenstowns in Ireland. There is also a possible link to the local Bracken River, in which case the name could derive from breicín, meaning "little trout". Many locals, however, have traditionally felt that Baile Brigín means "Town of the Little Hills", due to the relatively low hills that surround the town. Although this is now the official Irish name for the town, it is likely to be a folk etymology, back-formed from the English name. Following linguistic logic, however, both with vowels and syllabic stress, this would presume an English name closer to Ballybrig(g)een. The town's name is more likely derived from the word brecan, as the area was part of a medieval kingdom known as Brega, populated by a tribe or clan known as the Bregii,^[145] and the aforementioned River Bracken.^{[citation needed]}	Irish: Baile Brigín
Baldoyle	Baldoyle (Irish: Baile Dúill) is a coastal suburb of Dublin, Ireland, it was developed from a former fishing village. Baldoyle is also a civil parish in the barony of Coolock within the traditional County Dublin.^[146] The district name derives from baile meaning "town" and dubh-ghaill meaning "dark (-haired) stranger", the name given by the Gaels to the Danes to distinguish them from the Norwegians or "fair (-haired) strangers" (finn-ghaill) who first settled in Ireland in 841–842. While it is sometimes rendered as "Doyle's town" with reference to the personal name Doyle which itself derives from dubh-ghaill, there is no evidence for this usage.^[147]^[148]	Irish: Baile Dúill
Balgriffin	Balgriffin (Irish: Baile Ghrífín, meaning "Griffin's town") is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland. It lies on the administrative boundary between Dublin City and Fingal in County Dublin. Balgriffin is also a civil parish in the ancient barony of Coolock.^[149]	Irish: Baile Ghrífín, meaning "Griffin's town"
Bayside, Dublin	Bayside (Irish: Cois Bá)^[150] is a small residential suburb on the northside of Dublin, Ireland, purpose-built from 1967 on lands previously part of Kilbarrack.^[151] It has a planned central service area with retail facilities and lies inshore of Bull Island. It absorbed a neighbouring development, Sutton Park, also on Kilbarrack lands adjacent to Baldoyle. Established in 1967 under Dublin Corporation, it was later moved to the jurisdiction of Fingal County Council.	Irish: Cois Bá)^[152]
Blanchardstown	Blanchardstown (Irish: Baile Bhlainséir)^[32] is a large outer suburb of Dublin in the modern county of Fingal, Ireland. Located ten kilometres (6 mi) northwest of Dublin city centre, it has developed since the 1960s from a small village to a point where Greater Blanchardstown is the largest urban area in Fingal.^{[citation needed]} The name Blanchardstown comes from the Blanchard family,^[32] who were granted their estate sometime between 1250 and 1260. The name 'Blanchard' is thought to come from the old French word 'blanch' meaning white, in turn potentially referring to white or fair hair.^[153]	Irish: Baile Bhlainséir)^[32]
Castleknock	Castleknock (Irish: Caisleán Cnucha) is an affluent suburban village of Dublin, Ireland, located 8 km (5 mi) west of Dublin city centre.^[154] It is in the modern county of Fingal.^[a]^[155] In addition to the village, the name "Castleknock" also refers to older units of land division: a townland,^[156] a civil parish^[157] and a barony.^[158] In a poem relating to the earliest centuries after Christ, the origin of the name Cnucha is connected with Conn of the Hundred Battles, and the name is said to have been borne by his foster mother: — The nurse of Conn who loved this strip of land Was Cnucha of the comely head; She dwelt on the dun with him In the reign of Conn of the Hundred Fights. Cnucha, the daughter of Concadh Cas, From the land of Luimncach broad and green, Died yonder in that house To the horror of the Gaels. The woman was buried, a grief it was. In the very middle of the hill ; So that from that on Cnucha Is its name until the judgment.^[159] As the word Castle did not come into use in Ireland until Norman times we know that Castleknock is a name of comparatively recent origin. Documents from the 12th and 13th centuries refer to the place as Castrum Cnoc, simply Cnoc and also Chastel-cnoc or Castel-Cnoc.^[160] So it seems^{[according to whom?]} that the name Castleknock is rooted in the topography of the hill or cnoc located at the centre of the modern neighbourhood and/or the personal name of the mother of a semi-legendary High King i.e. Cnucha and the building of a castle by Normans on this site in the 12th century.

The Irish name for Howth is Binn Éadair, meaning Éadar's Peak or Hill. In Old Irish, the name is recorded as Etar, which was first plundered by the Vikings around 819.^[165] One of the possible origins of the Irish name is from Étar, wife of one of the five Fir Bolg chieftains who is reported to have died at Howth.^[166] The name Howth is thought to be of Norse origin, perhaps being derived from the Old Norse Hǫfuð ("head" in English). Norse vikings colonised the eastern shores of Ireland and built the settlement of Dyflinn (one of two settlements which became Dublin) as a strategic base between Scandinavia and the Mediterranean.^{[citation needed]}	Irish: Binn Éadair, meaning 'Éadar's peak'

The River Tolka passes near the village. The origins and meaning of the name Mulhuddart are unknown. However, a number of explanations are offered, the most likely being that the name came from the Irish Mullach Eadartha meaning "the hill of the milking place". In ancient Ireland, cows were driven out onto upland pastures during the summer months, and special places were designated for their milking.^{[citation needed]} Many townland names surrounding the village owe their origins to Norman settlers who colonised the area after the Norman capture of Dublin in 1170. "Buzzardstown" is so-called after the family of William Bossard, and "Tyrrellstown" is named after a branch of the Tyrrells, who were created barons of Castleknock in 1173.^[191] The townland of Goddamendy is perhaps the only townland in Ireland containing a prayer in its name.

It is named after the local geological rock formation to be found in the area of Blackrock Park. In the late 18th century, the Blackrock Road was a common place for highway robberies. The Blackrock baths, provided for by the railway company in 1839, became popular in the 19th century but Blackrock is now a tourist destination. Blackrock, some hundreds of years ago, was variously called Newtown-at-the Black Rock, Newtown on the Strand by the Black Rock, Newtown Castle Byrne, or simply Newtown, so that "Blackrock" is simply an abbreviation of one of its ancient titles.^[210] For example, the town was called Newtown in a 1488 Act of Parliament.^[211] The name still survives in Newtown Avenue, and Newtown House. It was thus distinguished from Newtown-in-the-Deer-Park, as the village of Newtown Park was then called, from the circumstance that it was built in the Deer Park belonging to Stillorgan House, or Castle (a quo Newtownpark Avenue).^[212] Blackrock is named after the local geological rock formation to be found in the area of Blackrock Park. Most of it is now buried under the park, but it is said that it is possible to see it just north of the pond. The rock itself is a limestone calp that when wet appears black, thus giving the name Black Rock. For the construction of the railway in 1834, the rock was extensively used for the wall cappings between Williamstown and Blackrock and can also be seen in the walls of the train station at Blackrock.^[213]^[214] St Mary's Chapel of Ease on St. Mary's Place, nicknamed the Black Church, is constructed using the same Black Rock (limestone calp), although the rock used in its construction is locally sourced to the church.^[215]	Irish: An Charraig Dhubh

It is also a townland and civil parish in the modern county of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. It is situated about 7 km (4.3 mi) south of Dublin city centre. There is some debate on the origin of the town name Booterstown. Historically known in English as "Ballyboother"^[216]^[217] the name "Booterstown" is an anglicised form of the original Irish name Baile an Bhóthair, meaning "The Town of the Road". In its original Irish form it shares the same name as Batterstown in County Meath, as well as Ballinvoher in Kilkenny, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Longford and Mayo.^[218] However, there are also several references to the names "Butterstonne" and "Butterstown" from various historic maps eg Rocques etc.^[219] "Butterstown" is also mentioned in "10 facts about Merrion and Booterstown", as follows: "Booterstown was once entirely agricultural, renowned for its rich farming land. Its original name was derived from the produce created, Butterstown, and this name lasted until the end of the 18th century. In those days, virtually the only building in the district was Booterstown Castle, which was incorporated into St Mary’s house, built in the 18th century and still there."^[220] "The Queen’s After-Dinner Speech, as overhead and cut into Lengths of Poetry by Jamesy Murphy, Deputy-Assistant-Waiter at the Viceregal Lodge" states: " "An’ by Merrion roun’,” sez she, “To Buttherstown,” sez she,“Till I came to the ridge,” sez she "[1] This poem has been admirably recited by Ronnie Drew (of the Dubliners), "Sez She" Booterstown retains its link with the name Tara, as the Tara Towers hotel was built there in the 1970s on Merrion Road, next to the historical Bellevue Merrion Cemetery. The Tara Towers hotel was demolished in 2019.^[221]	Irish: Baile an Bhóthair, meaning 'town of the road'

Since early medieval times the area was owned by the Augustinians,^[225] and used as a grange, giving rise to the medieval civil parish of Kill, in the half-barony of Rathdown. The Ordnance Survey Ireland map 1837–1842 shows a "Grange Church" (now in ruins, the modern housing estate surrounding it is called Kill Abbey), "Kill Abbey" (still existing), "Grange House" (demolished with the building of the South Park estate), and "Glebe House" (still existing).^[226] Deansgrange was a townland of Kill Parish. Presumably the dean of the grange lived in Grange House, and so the area became known as "the Dean's Grange", and then simply, Deansgrange.	Irish: Gráinseach an Déin, meaning 'The Dean's Grange'
Dún Laoghaire	Dún Laoghaire^[227] (/dʌn ˈlɪəri/ dun LEER-ee, Irish: [ˌd̪ˠuːn̪ˠ ˈl̪ˠeːɾʲə, - ˈl̪ˠiːɾʲə]) is a suburban coastal town in County Dublin in Ireland. It is the administrative centre of the county of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. The town was built up alongside a small existing settlement following 1816 legislation that allowed the building of a major port to serve Dublin. It was known as Dunleary in the English language, until it was renamed Kingstown in honour of King George IV's 1821 visit, and in 1920 was given its present name Dún Laoghaire, the original Irish form from which "Dunleary" was anglicised. Over time, the town became a residential location, a seaside resort, the terminus of Ireland's first railway and the administrative centre of the former borough of Dún Laoghaire, and from 1994, of the county of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. The town's name means "fort of Laoghaire".^[228] This refers to Lóegaire mac Néill (modern spelling: Laoghaire Mac Néill), a 5th-century High King of Ireland, who chose the site as a sea base from which to carry out raids on Britain and Gaul. Traces of fortifications from that time have been found on the coast, and some of the stone is kept in the Maritime Museum. The name is officially spelt Dún Laoghaire in modern Irish orthography and in general usage. It is sometimes unofficially written as Dún Laoire.^[229]^[230] The old anglicised spelling Dunleary is also seen.^[229]^[231] This last is how the town's name is commonly pronounced, although the Irish pronunciation is also common.^[232]	Dún Laoghaire^[233]

It is in a civil parish of the same name.^[32] Kilmacud is an anglicisation of the Irish name Cill Mochuda, "church of [saint] Mochuda". The identity of the dedicatee Mochuda is uncertain; Mo- is often a hypocoristic prefix. One possibility is Mo Chutu of Lismore.^[236] Another is the Welsh–Breton Malo or Mochud, supposedly a companion of Brendan the Navigator.^[237] Another suggestion is Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, whose cult could have been brought to Viking Dublin by Norse settlers from the Kingdom of Northumbria.^[238] This may be a conflation of Kilmacud with Kilmahuddrick, west of Clondalkin, which the annals of St. Mary's Abbey said is where Cuthbert was born.^[239]	Irish: Cill Mochuda^[32]
Kilternan	Kilternan (Irish: Cill Tiarnáin, meaning 'Church of Tiarnán'), also known as Kiltiernan, is a village in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, in the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains south of Dublin, Ireland, near the border with County Wicklow. Kiltiernan is in a civil parish of the same name, in the barony of Rathdown.^[32] Road signs are somewhat confused regarding the correct spelling of the name of the area. For example; signs on the M50 motorway (Junction 15) call it Kilternan while signs at the junction on the adjoining roads refer to "Kiltiernan", even though both sets were erected at roughly the same time. Local government documents and ordnance survey maps refer to Kiltiernan while many local people spell the name without the "i". Locally, Kilternan is the most acceptable form.^[240]	Irish: Cill Tiarnáin, meaning 'Church of Tiarnán'
Leopardstown	Leopardstown (Irish: Baile na Lobhar, meaning 'town of the lepers'), historically called Ballinlore,^[32] is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland, at the foot of the Wicklow Mountains. With institutional lands and a large racecourse, it is divided by the M50 motorway, and adjoins Sandyford, Stepaside, Ballyogan, Carrickmines, Foxrock and Stillorgan. Leprosy was common in Dublin in the medieval period and in the 14th century St Stephen's Leper Hospital was built near St Stephen's Green. It was later moved out to the foothills of the Dublin Mountains to avoid infection spreading in the city. The area became known as Baile na Lobhar, "town of the lepers". This was anglicized as 'Ballinlore' and translated into English as 'Leperstown',^[32] eventually being corrupted to 'Leopardstown'.	Irish: Baile na Lobhar, meaning 'town of the lepers'
Loughlinstown	Loughlinstown (Irish: Baile Uí Lachnáin, meaning 'O'Laughnan's town') is a southern Dublin suburb, located in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, on the N11 national road. Loughlinstown is the location of St. Columcille's Hospital, which serves both south Dublin and Wicklow. The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, an EU body, is located in Loughlinstown House. Loughlinstown is a corrupted English translation of the Irish name Baile Uí Lachnáin, meaning "O'Laughnan's town".^[32] This was historically anglicized 'Ballyloughnan' and 'Ballylaghnan'.^[32]	Irish: Baile Uí Lachnáin, meaning 'O'Laughnan's town'
Monkstown, Dublin	Monkstown (Irish: Baile na Manach), historically known as Carrickbrennan (Irish: Carraig Bhraonáin), is a suburb on the southside of Dublin, Ireland, located in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. It is on the coast, between Blackrock and Dún Laoghaire while also bordering Sallynoggin and Deansgrange inland. A church was built at Carrickbrennan (as Monkstown was then known) before the 8th century, and dedicated to Saint Mochonna, bishop of Inispatrick or Holmpatrick by Skerries. The grange of Carrickbrennan, otherwise Monkstown, was granted by the King to the Cistercian monks of Saint Mary's Abbey, Dublin, in 1200. The monks built their grange near to the church, and the village grew up around it. The lands of which it was a part extended as far south as Bulloch harbour on the outskirts of Dalkey, where the monks constructed a fishing harbour protected by a castle.^[241]	Irish: Baile na Manach
Mount Merrion	Mount Merrion (Irish: Cnoc Mhuirfean) is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland. It is roughly 7 kilometres (5 mi) south of Dublin city centre and is situated on and around the hill of the same name.	Irish: Cnoc Mhuirfean
Rathfarnham	Rathfarnham (Irish: Ráth Fearnáin, meaning 'Fearnán's ringfort') is a southside suburb of Dublin, Ireland in County Dublin. It is south of Terenure, east of Templeogue, and is in the postal districts of Dublin 14 and 16. It is between the local government areas of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown and South Dublin.	Irish: Ráth Fearnáin, meaning 'Fearnán's ringfort'
Rathmichael	Rathmichael (Irish: Ráth Mhichíl) is a suburb on the southside of Dublin, in the local government area of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, near the southern border of County Dublin with County Wicklow. It is situated west of Shankill from which it is, roughly, separated by the M50/M11 motorways. It is also a civil parish in the barony of Rathdown. The modern Irish name Ráth Mhichíl appears to be derived from an English corruption. Thus, Rathmichael is likely to have come from Ráth Mhic Táil, meaning "Mac Táil's Ringfort".^{[citation needed]}	Irish: Ráth Mhichíl
Sallynoggin	Sallynoggin (Irish: An Naigín) is an area of Dublin in Ireland, in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, County Dublin. The area consists mainly of former local authority housing built between the late 1940s and the mid-1950s by the Corporation of Dún Laoghaire. The Irish Placenames Commission has researched the origin and meaning of Sallynoggin as a placename. In fact, the name is not Irish at all but English deriving from the "sally noggins" which referred to old timber-frame houses that were known to be situated there. The Irish name for Sallynoggin is Saile an Chnocain. The modern Irish word for noggin is the phonetic "naigín" hence "An Naigín" (The Noggin) as it is commonly called. More than likely this is a placename of English origin. Examples of the word naggin or noggin were collected in Hiberno-English, meaning ‘a wooden vessel’. The origin of the word is unclear to lexicographers. The following meaning of the word noggin also appears in the English Dialect Dictionary, ‘the clay and sticks, or bricks used to fill the interstices of half-timbered houses’. This is a more likely explanation of ‘sallynoggins’; in other words, sally-rods may have been used in the construction of the houses.^[242]	Irish: An Naigín
Sandycove	Sandycove (Irish: Cuas an Ghainimh) is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland. It is southeast of Dún Laoghaire and Glasthule, and northwest of Dalkey. It is a popular seaside resort and is well known for its bathing place, the Forty Foot, which in the past was reserved for men only but is now available for mixed bathing. The locale features in the opening of Ulysses by James Joyce.	Irish: Cuas an Ghainimh
Sandyford	Sandyford (Irish: Áth an Ghainimh) is a suburb of Dublin, located in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland. Sandyford Business District makes up much of the suburb and encompasses 4 business parks: Sandyford Business Park, Stillorgan Business Park, Central Park and South County Business Park. Some of the multinational companies based in the area include Google, Facebook, Microsoft and AIB. Sandyford is part of the Dáil Éireann constituency of Dublin-Rathdown. Sandyford village (sometimes referred to in Irish as Taobh na Coille, meaning 'woodside', the townland in which it is situated) is 9 km south of Dublin city centre, just south of the M50 motorway, accessed from the R117 road or M50 junctions 13 and 14, while Sandyford Business District is just north of the motorway.	Irish: Áth an Ghainimh
Shankill, Dublin	Shankill (Irish: Seanchill, meaning 'Old Church') is an outlying suburb of Dublin, Ireland, on the southeast of County Dublin, close to the border with County Wicklow. It is in the local government area of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown and had a population of 14,257 as of the 2016 census. It runs from the coast, between Loughlinstown and Bray, inland towards the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. Shankill borders Rathmichael, as well as Loughlinstown, Killiney, Ballybrack and Bray in County Wicklow. It is part of the civil parish of Rathmichael and contains the formerly separate district of Shanganagh, and in its southern parts, the locality of Crinken. The name Shankill derives from the Irish term "Seanchill," which translates to "old church" or "ancient church." The word "sean" means "old," and "cill" means "church." This name is believed to reference an early Christian monastic settlement or an ancient church that once stood in the area, reflecting Shankill's historical significance as a site of religious and communal activity. Additionally, the nearby area of Shanganagh, which translates to "old graveyard" in Irish, further underscores the region's long-standing association with early Christian practices and its historical role as a place of worship and burial.^[243]	Irish: Seanchill, meaning 'Old Church'
Stepaside, Dublin	Stepaside (Irish: An Chéim)^[244] is a village in the townland of Kilgobbin, located in south County Dublin, in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland. The area is 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of Dundrum.	Irish: An Chéim)^[245]
Stillorgan	Stillorgan (Irish: Stigh Lorgan, also Stigh Lorcáin and previously Tigh Lorcáin or Teach Lorcáin), formerly a village in its own right, is now a suburban area of Dublin in Ireland. Stillorgan is located in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, and contains many housing estates, shops and other facilities, with the old village centre still present. Stillorgan is at least partly contiguous with Kilmacud and neighbours other southside districts such as Mount Merrion, Sandyford, Leopardstown, Dundrum, Blackrock, Goatstown and Foxrock. The population of all electoral divisions labelled as Stillorgan, an area considerably larger than Stillorgan village, was 18,212 at the 2022 census.^[38] Stillorgan is in a civil parish of the same name, in the barony of Rathdown.^[32] It is popularly believed that the name Stillorgan is either a Danish or Anglo-Norman corruption of Teach Lorcán, 'the house or church of Lorcán', possibly signifying Saint Lorcán Ua Tuathail.^[246] Another belief is that it is named after a Danish or Irish chief of a similar name: what may have been his burial chamber was discovered in Stillorgan Park in 1716.^[247]^[248] The original Irish name for Stillorgan was Áth na Chill ('Athnakill') – 'Ford of the Church'. In the fourteenth century, the manor of Stillorgan (Stalorgan) was held by the Cruise or Cruys family, from whom it passed to the Derpatrick family, and subsequently to the Fitzwilliams. It was held as leasehold from the English Crown, and in 1389 Sir John Cruys was excused from paying the rent of 40 shillings on the estate.^[249]	Irish: Stigh Lorgan, also Stigh Lorcáin and previously Tigh Lorcáin or Teach Lorcáin
Ticknock	Ticknock or Tiknock (Irish: Tigh an Chnoic, meaning 'house of the hill')^[250] is a townland in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Dublin, Ireland. It is southwest of Sandyford, at the northeastern foothills of the Dublin Mountains. The townland of Tiknock is in the electoral division of Dundrum, and has an area of approximately 2.6 square kilometres (1.0 sq mi).^[251]	Irish: Tigh an Chnoic, meaning 'house of the hill')^[252]
Windy Arbour	Windy Arbour (Irish: Na Glasáin), historically called Glassons,^[32] is a small suburban village in the Dundrum area of Dublin, Ireland. Situated between Dundrum and Milltown, along the banks of the Slang River (also Dundrum or Slann River). The name of the area was originally Irish Na Glasáin, "the green land"; this was anglicised as 'Glassons'.^[32] The name Windy Harbour or Sandy Arbour was later applied, referring to a landing-point on the River Slang. A starch mill was formerly located there.^[253] "Arbour" once had the meaning "grass plot, lawn, garden"; it is possible that the name was intended as a direct translation of glasáin.^[32]	Irish: Na Glasáin
