Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
*the town of -- *
Ní léir brí sneachta san ainm seo. B'fhéidir gurb é an t-ainm pearsanta Fíon(n)achta atá i gceist ann mar a mheas Seán Ó Donnabháin (Ainmleabhar na Suirbhéireachta Ordanáis 1840: 'baile Shionnacht, recte Fhionnachta') - English
*the town of -- *
The meaning of sneachta is unclear here. Perhaps the placename contains the personal name Fíon(n)achta, as Seán Ó Donnabháin thought (Ordnance Survey Name Book 1840: 'baile Shionnacht, recte Fhionnachta')
