Best Answer

It comes from the Irish name Muineachán which comes from a diminutive plural form of the Irish word muine meaning "brake" (a, thickly overgrown area) or sometimes "hillock". It is sometimes interpreted as the land of the little hills, a reference to the numerous drumlins in the area, what are small hills.
