The meaning of blá is unclear. Roibeárd Ó hÚrdail discusses the name in 'The Placename Béal na Blá', Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society, 104 (1999), 111–116, proposing that the final element is the word blá, 'green, lawn, &c.' (féach A Dictionary of the Irish Language, www.dil.ie). The linguistic evidence does not support Béal na (m)Bláth, an Irish form often associated with this placename. See also Art Ó Maolfhabhail, 'Béalnabláth nó Béal Átha na Bláithche?', in the same journal, vol. 97 (1992), pp. 80–84.
