In Irish Gaelic it means 'a town, village'. It can also mean 'home' in some cases.
Bally comes from the Irish word "Baile" meaning town or place. That is why it features in so many Irish placenames. Any time you see Bally at the beginning of a placename it is basically saying that it is "the place of..." and whatever place it is.
