Tiranny
Tiranny ()〔〔 is a barony in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.〔 It lies on the western boundary of the county, bordering County Tyrone to its west and County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland to its south. It is bordered by three other baronies in Northern Ireland: Dungannon Lower and Dungannon Upper to the north-west; and Armagh to the east.〔 It also borders two baronies in the Republic of Ireland; Cremorne to the south and Trough to the west. ==Etymology== The name Tiranny is a softened form of Toughranie,〔 an anglicisation of ''Tuath Threana''. The form Tiranny was created by the Ordnance Survey and led to the incorrect conjecture by some such as John O'Donovan that the first element of the name derived from the Irish word ''tír'', meaning "country".〔 Older phonetic forms of ''Tuatha Threna'' included Toaghrany, Toyghrayny, Toaghraine, Toaghranye, Towrany, Tuterany, Toghrany, Toorany, Turrany, and Torany, all of which are found in records from the early seventeenth century.〔 The second element ''Threna'' is derived from the ''Uí Threna'' ((英語:descendants of Trena)), the name of a tribe that settled on the western boundaries of modern County Armagh, where the barony of Tiranny is located. In various Elizabethan maps of Ulster, they are recorded in the anglicised forms of O'Traney, O'Trany, Outraine, and Traney, before the term ''Tuath Threana'' was used.〔
