Owendoher River
The Owendoher River ( Irish: ''An Dothra Bheag'', i.e. "The Little Dodder") is a small river in southern County Dublin, Ireland, the largest tributary of the River Dodder, and a part of the River Liffey system. Course The Owendoher rises in two main branches. The larger branch flows from Glendoo / Glencullen valley, and meets the second, in turn formed from two streams, one sometimes called Kilakee Stream, from the slopes of Killakee Mountain, and the other Glendoo Stream, from west of Glendoo Mountain. The two branches merge near Rockbrook Cemetery, along with another small stream from Woodbrook and Piperstown, and the Owendoher flows north to Ballyboden, and on to Rathfarnham, receiving the Whitechurch Stream. The Owendoher joins the River Dodder south of Bushy Park near the former settlement of Butterfield, just south west of Rathfarnham village. Sweeney (1991) Doyle (2008) There were historically a number of mills on the Owendoher and its tributaries; none now operate. ...

River Source
The headwaters of a river or stream is the farthest place in that river or stream from its estuary or downstream confluence with another river, as measured along the course of the river. It is also known as a river's source. Definition The United States Geological Survey (USGS) states that a river's "length may be considered to be the distance from the mouth to the most distant headwater source (irrespective of stream name), or from the mouth to the headwaters of the stream commonly known as the source stream". As an example of the second definition above, the USGS at times considers the Missouri River as a tributary of the Mississippi River. But it also follows the first definition above (along with virtually all other geographic authorities and publications) in using the combined Missouri—lower Mississippi length figure in lists of lengths of rivers around the world. Most rivers have numerous tributaries and change names often; it is customary to regard the lon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Doyle
Doyle is a surname of Irish origin. The name is a back-formation from O'Doyle, which is an Anglicisation of the Irish (), meaning "descendant of ''Dubhghall''". There is another possible etymology: the Anglo-Norman surname ''D'Oyley'' with agglutination of the French article ''de'' (cf. Disney). It means 'from Ouilly', name of a knight who originated from one of the places named Ouilly in Normandy, such as Ouilly-le-Tesson (Calvados, ''Oylley'' 1050), Ouilly-le-Vicomte (Calvados, ''de Oilleio'' 1279), etc. The relationship with the family D'Oyly is unknown. The personal name ''Dubhghall'' contains the elements ''dubh'' "black" + ''gall'' "stranger". Similar Scottish and Irish surnames, derived from the same personal name are: ''MacDougall'' / '' McDougall'' and '' MacDowell'' / '' McDowell''. During the Viking Age the term '' Dubhghoill'' was used to describe the Vikings—usually Danes—and the term ''Fionnghoill'' ("fair foreigners") was used to describe Norwegians. There ...
