Further information regarding the name LYNAM[edit]

Sir Walter de Lineham mentioned in the Doomsday book. Also may be Roman reference to someone who lived where 'flax' was grown (Lin - linen, made from flax & ham - roman for home/dwelling). Other spellings Linham, Lyneham

Correction regarding the Irish translation in this article[edit]

I've just signed up after years of use, to correct this but I don't really want to on my first day, so maybe someone else can help.

Ó Laigheanáin, which means "someone from Laighean" is incorrect. Ó means grandson or descendant in Irish. Laigheanáin is the genitive case of Laigheanán. So the name means "Laigheanán's grandson" or "Laigheanán's descendant."
