Fota Island
Fota (statutory spelling Foaty; (アイルランド語:Fóite))〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Foaty Island )〕 is an island in Cork Harbour, Ireland, just north of the larger island of Great Island. Fota Island is host to Ireland's only wildlife park – as well as the historical Fota House and gardens and golf course owned by the "Fota Island Golf Club and Resort". The island comprises two townlands both called Foaty: one each in the civil parishes of Clonmel (the western half of Great Island) and Carrigtohill (on the mainland).
==Name==
Although ''Foaty'' is the spelling fixed in the nineteenth century by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, ''Fota'' is now more common. The origin of the name is uncertain. It may be of Hiberno-Norse origin, with second element Old Norse "island"; Donnchadh Ó Corráin suggests "foot island", from its position at the mouth of the River Lee down from Cork city; some medieval references have an ''-r-'' in the name.〔 Ó Corráin is sceptical of proposed Gaelic etymologies, "sod house", "warm sod", and "decayed/withered".〔
