The Greek writer Ptolemy noted a settlement named Eblana in 170 AD.

What gave the city its name was a dark pool near, or part of, the River Liffey - and the Irish for "dark pool" is Dubh Linn. A settlement of that name probably dates from around the first century BC, but there was most likely an unnamed settlement there for many years before that.
