Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    Ní cinnte brí an ainm. B'fhéidir gur páistín (foirm dhíspeagtha < páiste, 'leanbh, gasúr') sa chiall 'fo-abhainn' atá ann: ritheann an sruthán isteach sa Life anseo. Féach an nóta faoin bf Cluain Páistín i gCo. Luimnigh

  • English

    Meaning uncertain. Perhaps it is the word páistín (diminutive form < páiste, 'child') in the sense 'tributary river': the stream joins the River Liffey here. See the note on the townland name Cluain Páistín/Cloonpasteen in Co. Limerick
