[1]Annagh is a townland in the Parish of Tomregan, Barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan, Ireland. On the 1609 Ulster Plantation map it is split into two townlands named Shannaontra and Shannaititr. In an Inquisition dated 20 September 1630 the two townlands were spelled ‘Townaeiateragh’ & “Tawnaowteragh”, but by the Down Survey of 1655 both townlands were merged into one and it is named ‘Annagh alias Tannaghyeitragh alias Tannaghoteragh’. The usual meaning suggested for the place name is that Annagh is an anglicisation of the Irish language placename “Eanach” which means ‘A moor or marsh’. However it is more likely that Annagh is an abbreviation of ‘Tannagh’ (meaning a pasture) as the older names of the place in Irish were ‘Tamnach Íochtar’ & “Tamnach Uachtar” which mean ‘Lower Pasture’ and “Upper Pasture”.
