Sources

Post na baryn: 1699, Lhuyd
Iomarach na Ban-Righinn: 1825, Armstrong
Port na Bann-righ: Eachdraidh a’ Phrionnsa, 1906, 52
Gu’n ruig mi Port-na-Ban-Righ: Transactions, ‘Old Highland Marches’ xxix, 1916, 82
Iomaraich na Banrighinn: CW178/38 1904

Armstrong mentions the form Iomarach na Banrighinn twice, under ban-righinn and under iomarach. When reduplicated in Dwelly, the form remains the same in the entry under iomarach but is changed to Port na Ban-rìghinn in the entry for ban-rìghinn.
