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".

Dubh Linn (meaning Black Pool). Dublin was formed by the amalgumation of an Irish village Baile atha cliatha with a viking one Dubh Linn. Today the city is called Dublin in English or baile atha cliatha in Irish.
Dubh Linn, are the Irish words for Black Pool. A settlement where Dublin now is, was close to a black pool on the river Liffey, the river that Dublin is now built on. It is from that that the modern name Dublin originates.
The commonly-used Irish language name for Dublin is "Baile Átha Cliath", which is the "town at the crossing of the hurdle ford". The two names arise from the fact that they referred to two different settlements that were on the river Liffey quite close to each other. In time the two settlements grew and became the place we now know as Dublin. The two names have been retained.
