Sources

Cf MacNiven p. 467 who discusses Blaircessnock, suggesting Blàr Seasgannach ‘marshy grazing, plain, or muir’, where seasgannach is an adjective, however. Cf also Shiskine ~ An Seasgann on Arran.

There are several examples of this name in Scotland, one in Menteith (as Blaircessnock), one in Fife (likely transferred) and one in Ayrshire. The original feature for our place is an estate called Cessnock NS5638564992.
