The name Dublin is derived from the Norse name Dyfflin
meaning Black Pool, of Dubh Linn in Irish. The River Liffey is the Black Pool
referenced in this name. The Liffey during it's course flows through bog land
which gives the water a black colour. The modern name of the city is Dublin, or
Baile Átha Cliath which means Town of the Ford of the Hurdle when translated.
