Dubh Linn, are the Irish words for Black Pool. A settlement where Dublin now is, was close to a black pool on the river Liffey, the river that Dublin is now built on. It is from that that the modern name Dublin originates.
The commonly-used Irish language name for Dublin is "Baile Átha Cliath", which is the "town at the crossing of the hurdle ford". The two names arise from the fact that they referred to two different settlements that were on the river Liffey quite close to each other. In time the two settlements grew and became the place we now know as Dublin. The two names have been retained.
The name Dublin comes from the Irish language words dubh linn, meaning 'black pool'. This is a name of an ancient settlement that grew and eventually became the Dublin we now know. The site of the original Dubh Linn is believed to be in the centre of modern Dublin, in what is now a garden in Dublin Castle.
