Who is the city of Dublin Ireland named after?

The city of Dublin is not named after any person. The word Dublin comes from the Irish words Dubh Linn, meaning black pool. The first settlements, over 1000 years ago, where Dublin now is were along the river Liffey, as the city still is. One of these settlements was near a black pool, and took its name from that. Another nearby settlement was called Áth Cliath, meaning the crossing at the hurdle ford, as it was built near a crossing of the Liffey. Both of these settlements grew and now we have the city of Dublin. The Irish language name from Dublin comes from Áth Cliath and is usually found as Baile Átha Cliath. So the names of those two ancient settlements have been retained in the modern English and Irish names for Dublin.
