Baldoyle
Baldoyle (Baile DĂşill in Irish) is a small coastal village in Fingal, Ireland, immediately northeast of the City of Dublin. The name means "Doyle's town", from the personal name Doyle which itself derives from dubh-ghaill meaning "dark stranger", the name given by the Gaels to the Danes to distinguish them from the Norwegians or "fair strangers" (finn-ghaill) who first settled in Ireland in 841-842).
