Inisheer
Inisheer ((アイルランド語:Inis Oírr), the island's official name, , meaning "east island", and traditionally , meaning "rear island") is the smallest and most eastern of the three Aran Islands in Galway Bay, Ireland. Inisheer has a population of about 297, making it the second smallest of the Aran Islands in terms of population. Caomhán of Inisheer is the island's patron saint. ==Naming== The official name, , was brought into usage by the Ordnance Survey Ireland. It may be a compromise between the traditional local name and the previous official name .〔Ó Murchú (Séamas): An tainm áite Inis Oírr in Éigse 26 (1992), pp. 119–123.〕 There is no Irish word corresponding to the second element in the official name. It seems from the annals that the island's name always contained the element or in the sense of "rear or back island" and not "west" as is the usual sense of this word. The form , used by the 17th century scholar Ruaidhrí Ó Flaithbheartaigh, seems to have arisen out of his own misreading of the annals.
