Killimor and Boleybeg – Cill Iomair – Imor’s Church

Several variations of the name are given in the Ordnance Survey Name Books. The first mention of the townland was during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when it was referred to as Killeymore.  Two spellings of the name were recorded in the reign of James I (1603-1625): Killamore and Killymur.  In the time of William III (1689-1702), the version used was Kellymore.  The Ordnance Survey Name Books spelled the name as Killimore.  Rev. Francis Coghlan (Roman Catholic Parish Priest) referred to this townland as Killimor and Boulabeg, while George D.H. Kirkaldy (Landowner. Hearnsbrook Demesne) wrote Killimor and Buolabeg.  However, the standard name was given as Killimor and Boleybeg. The Irish version given was Cill Iomair, meaning Imor’s Church  The name Boleybeg was not explained in the Ordnance Survey Name Books, however, in the booklet Irish Place Names the meaning is given as follows: Boley, a milking or dairy place; Boleybeg: little boley or dairy place. Killimor is also recorded as Killimore and Killimorbologue. Some experts think that the word bologue means a loaf or a yearling heifer.  Another possible meaning for Killimorbologue/Cill Iomair Bolga is Killimor of the Builg, the old name of the area being Tuath Bolga, indicating that the Fir Bolg(a Celtic Tribe who landed near Clarinbridge in the years BC) resided here. The current official name of Killimor in Irish is Cill Íomair according to the Placenames Commission.
