Annalong     Ath na  Long        Long Ford of the Ships

Ath as in Ath Beil= NYC.

Long = ship as in long siar (longshore, boat quay) or so/ long as in so long.

Don't believe the hype, or the buan cumadh, bunkum, perpetual invention, long 
drawn out story.

But, let's be frank, there are people out there who actually believe 
"bootlegger" derives from the practice of stuffing bottles in boots, rather 
than two Irish words that mean a bottle service: buidelai gar. It is too 
funny for television.
