Camus, County Galway : ウィキペディア英語版 | Camus, County Galway
Camus or Camas is a small village in the Connemara Gaeltacht of County Galway, Ireland. It is between Casla and An Teach Dóite, and is divided into Camas Uachtair and Camas Íochtair, as well as several other townlands, such as Scríob, Gleann Trasna, Leitir Móir, and Doire Bhainbh. It is notable for being the village with the highest percentage of Irish language speakers in the Gaeltacht. ==Name== The name Camus/Camas (both versions are used, though the version Camus, which has been in use for generations in both Irish and English has been retained by the great majority of the population) may come from the shape of the nearby bay in which the tides come and go through the narrow strait at Dun Manus and enter Camus bay at an angle, i.e.: ''cam uisce'' or crooked water. Camus residents are known by their nickname of Maicíní (the etymology of this word is unclear, although it was common in south Conamara to give each village nicknames). Camus is also known in song as Camus na bhFoirnéis (Camus of the furnaces). It is believed that a small medieval foundry was operated close to the small bridge at the centre of the area in the 18th century.
