==Etymology==
"The name ''Eanach Dhúin'' signifies the 'marsh of the Dún or fort.' The word ''Dún'' is one of the most common elements denoting secular settlement in early placenames. It usually refers to an enclosed settlement or ringfort and in the early historical period it appears to designate the principal dwelling of the local king or chieftain. The placename ... probably referred to the marshlands attached to the fort of the chieftain of Maigh Seola, which would have been granted as a site for a church."〔''Early Ecclesiastical Settlement Names of County Galway'', in "Galway:History and Society - Interdisciplinary Essays on the History of an Irish County", Dónall Mac Giolla Easpaig, pp. 800-801, Dublin, 1996.
