Additional Information

There is another in Strathtay.

A number of places in Scotland contain this specific, which in at least some cases, is a saint’s name, now Meàrnaig, from Mo Ernoc. See Kilmarnock Cill Mhearnaig Watson 1926, 187 and Ardmarnock and Inchmarnock Watson 1926, 291. Although Watson spells this without the strac, it is spelt elsewhere as Meàrnaig. This is also suggested by Taylor 2007, 7 who supplied the two earliest forms. Given the lack of forms for the Rutherglen Dalmarnock, the parallel of the Strathtay name has been taken, for which we have Dail Meàrnaig. The specific in this instance appears not to be lenited; names originally deriving from mo + personal name lenite sporadically.
