  • I don't know, but the Irish name for Dublin is Beal Ata Cliath
  • Well Dublin is the English version of the original name "Dubh linn". The literal meaning of dubh is the colour black, and of linn is a pond.
  • Dublin comes from the words Dubh Linn meaning Black Pool, or some say "deep pond." It depends whether the name is derived from old Irish or from Old Norse , and there is a lot of argument over that.
  • Dublin- Dubh Linn is Hiberno English and as above it means Black Pool Baile Átha Cliath- is Irish and mean Town of the Ford of Hurdles
