==History==
The origin of the name ''Belmullet'' is not clear. It may have come from Irish ''Béal Muileat'' or ''Béal an Mhuileat'', which has been translated as "mouth of the isthmus".〔 Bernard O'Hara in ''Mayo: Aspects of its Heritage'' suggests that "A change from 'L' to 'R', which is quite common in Irish, may have given ''Béal an Mhuireat'' which in turn became ''Béal an Mhuirhead''". It has also been suggested that the latter half of the name may refer to the fish or the star shape used in heraldry.〔O'Hara, Bernard. ''Mayo: Aspects of its Heritage''. 1982. p.79〕
