Monamolin or Monamoling () is a small rural village in County Wexford, Ireland, about south of the town of Gorey. Monamolin (in the parish of the same name),〔(Monamolin ), Irish Placenames database. Retrieved: 2010-09-09.〕〔(''Ire''Atlas database ). Retrieved: 2010-09-09.〕 has a population of 661. Villages nearby include Kilmuckridge, Oulart, Boolavogue, Ballycanew and Ballygarrett. ==Name== In 1685 Sir William Petty's map spells it Monemoling (a pronunciation which has survived to the present day). By 1837 the spelling had changed to Monemolin according to Samuel Lewis's ''Topographical Dictionary of Ireland''. In 1851 The Index of Irish Townlands records it as Monomolin. However, Monamolin is the standardised spelling today. The various English versions of the name all come from the Irish, ''Muine Moling''. Saint Moling (d. 696) was a seventh-century Irish saint. O'Donaill's Irish-English Dictionary translates ''muine'' as "brushwood" or "scrub". Therefore, the name means "the brushwood" or "scrub of Moling". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monamolin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
