Best Answer

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. Dublin takes its name from Dubh Linn being mispronounced, and the name used in the Irish language comes from the other settlement and is Baile Átha Cliath.
