Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
corner, nook of (the) place of peaks, row of points?
Ní cinnte brí beannchar i logainmneacha. Meastar go bhfuil gaol aige le beann “point, peak” (féach www.dil.ie s.v. benn). Níl ach aon chnoc beag amháin sa bhaile fearainn a thug ainm don pharóiste, áfach.
Féach an aiste ‘Why Bangor ?’ le Bedwyr Lewis Jones in Ainm V ar bhrí Bangor i logainmneacha na Breataine Bige (“an upper plaited rod to strengthen a fence”, comhfhocal ina bhfuil ban- gaolmhar le beann na Gaeilge); tuairimíonn sé go mb’fhéidir gurb éard atá sa logainm Beannchar in Éirinn agus in Albain ná ‘a compound of cor ‘a setting’, and meaning in the first place some kind of plaited fence and subsequently in place-names a place defended by such a structure’ (ibid. 64). Féach freisin faoi Beannchar mór Chontae an Dúin in Dictionary of Ulster Place-names 19–20: ‘The name could refer to pointed rocks on the shore or to a pointed wattled enclosure around the monastic settlement.’
