Del., 1838 Ballygarvan SO < Baile Garbháin “the town of Garbhán (ainm pearsanta)” in oirdheisceart an bhaile fearainn (cf. bf Lios Garbháin (#3147) i gCeatharlach);

Tá bríonna éagsúla le co(i)s i logainmneacha — féach bf An Chois (#28402) i gCill na mBanbhán — agus b’fhéidir go bhfuil baint aige leis an bportach 1655 ‘Red Bog’ DS ar theorainn na barúntachta;
