∙ 15y agoBaile Átha Cliath is the Irish Gaelic (gaeilge) for Dublin (the capital city of Ireland). Translated into English it means The Town Of The Hurdled Ford (Baile = Town, Átha = Ford, Cliath = Hurdle). Although Gaeilge is taught as a mandatory subject at both 1st and 2nd level education, it is not widely spoken today, with English being the first language of the vast majority of the native Irish. The exception to this is in the Gaeltachts, these are communites in which the people speak Gaeilge as their first language, i.e. their educational medium is through the Irish language.

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.
Who founded Dublin?
There have been settlements along the river Liffey, Dublin's main river, for over 2000 years. Celts would have been in those settlements. Two villages existed at that time Áth Cliath and Dubh Linn. Dubh Linn, meaning black pool, is the origin of the word Dublin. Áth Cliath was the Crossing at the Hurdle Ford. Baile Átha Cliath has survived as the Irish language name for Dublin. Since that time many peoples have built in the area, notably the Vikings siince the 8th century. In 1988, Dublin celebrated a millennium year, but as you can see, it is older than that.

It began as a crossing point over the river Liffey. Two settlements started there, one called Áth Cliath (meaning the crossing at the hurdle ford) and the other called Dubh Linn (meaning Black Pool). These two villages grew and merged and continued to grow and today we have the city of Dublin. It has been a city since 988AD.
