W HAT does "lough" mean in Irish?

Question

I'm trying to figure out is Moylough, Ireland is in any way connected to the surname "Moyle."

Answer 1

Moylough is "Maigh Locha", in County Galway. "Loch" can mean either a lake or a sea inlet, and "Maigh Locha" means "Plain of the Lake/Inlet".

The surname "Moyle" has no connection to it. It is nbt a native Irish surname but there is a region in Antrim called Moyle and there is a Lord Moyle, who of course willuse Moyle as his surname, but that's an exception.

Answer 2

It means lake...

Answer 3

It means "lake" and has been incorporated into many last names.

Answer 4

Lake
