Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the town of An Fhrainc
Ní léir brí An Fhrainc san ainm seo. Dealraíonn sé go bhfreagraíonn cuid de na foirmeacha luatha do Bhaile an Fhrancaigh (nó an Fhraincigh) agus do Bhaile na bhFranc(ach), e.g. 1586 'Ballynrankeye', Peyton Survey, agus 1614 'Ballenevranke', Calendar of Patent Rolls. Féach frank, etc., sa Bhéarla, franc sa bhFraincis, francus sa Laidin, etc. Féach freisin an nóta ag bf Páirc an Tóiteáin [par. Cathair an Bhachlaigh]
English

the town of An Fhrainc
The meaning of An Fhrainc is unclear here. Some of the early forms appear to correspond to Baile an Fhrancaigh (or an Fhraincigh) and Baile na bhFranc(ach), e.g. 1586 'Ballynrankeye', Peyton Survey, and 1614 'Ballenevranke', Calendar of Patent Rolls. Compare English frank, etc., French franc, Latin francus, etc. See also note on the townland Páirc an Tóiteáin / Parkatotaun [par. Cathair an Bhachlaigh / Caheravally]
