== == The name Dublin is a Hiberno-English derivative of 'Dubh Linn' (Irish, "black pool"). Historically, in the traditional Gaelic script used for the Irish language, 'bh' was written with a dot over the 'b', as 'Duḃ Linn' or 'Duḃlinn'. The French-speaking Normans omitted the dot and spelled the name variously as 'Develyn' or 'Dublin'.
Dublin in Irish is "Baile Átha Cliatha" which means "Town at the Ford of Hurdles".

However the name Dublin is an anglicisation of "Dubhlinn" which means "Blackpool".

The name Dublin originates from the words Dubh Linn. Dubh Linn is the Irish for Black Pool. This was a reference to an ancient settlement near a black pool which over the centuries grew to become the modern city of Dublin.
